Gee... That's what we need!

I've got a bad news last week.  The cost for my insurance policy increased
by 15% this year.  This is probably an impact of the Coroner report in
Quebec (Canada) who wants to responsibilise the training agencies and the
trainers even more for any mistake made by divers.  The result is that our
insurance cost is becoming nearly as high as 50% of the insurance cost for
an instructor in the US.

The message from the Coroner and the journalists here is now:

"WHATEVER happens to you when you willingly go underwater is
COMPLETELY and ENTIRELY your INSTRUCTOR'S responsibility! If you cannot
accept TO GIVE this responsibility, stay out of the water!"
