Another thing that surfaced on the boat. The general consensus is that NAUI and PADI, the 600lb gorillas of the dive training industry, are going to get into tech training. You know what this means for TDI? Curtains. IANTD is in for a hard time, too. The money is in open water training, TDI does none, IANTD is trying to get back into.
