Subject: PADI standards .....
"PADI standards does not promote deep air diving..."
I heard that many times, PADI and most of the recreational agency do not
inform divers of what they are actually doing, PADI says something like "We
do no decompression dives, etc" and do not give the students any
information of what they should do, if they want to go deeper, or stay
there longer.
I believe that this is the only way you can keep a OW course simple and
easy, and cheap enough, so that they can certify Joe Diver in a few days.
Hiding the information is a criminal act, and if you make money teaching
PADI OW courses, you are responsible for it.

Go down at 130 feet, and try to simulate an out of air situation with the
average recreational diver (or even an instructor for that matter), and see
what happens...

PS: You know what to do with your PADI standards, do yoy?
