paraphrasing and quoting from the founding charter posted 12 Aug 1994

"NAPI,   the    National   Association   of   Professional
Instructors, was  formed in  1992 to  fill a  gap .... Other   commercial
institutions  provide  a variety  of  courses  and  specialities,  but  
these  are limited in their number and too wide in their scope, thus
denying the  diver the  right to  accumulate certificates
and badges. .... This ensures the  highest   number  of  collectable  
certificates and badges...."

(credit for NAPI goes to Guido Zsilavecz)

Need I quote more?  Its the ultimate joke agency, used for bashing
when people simply don't feel like bashing a real agency b/c then
10,000 supporters of said (real) agency will defend it to the
death.  So you pick on NAPI to make your point and move along.
