Roberto- I usually stay pretty cool in these discussions but you sir are totally clueless. If you overload a new diving student with too much irrelevent information to his level he will forget the important skills he needs to learn at that time. (You wouldn't teach a new pilot how to fly a F-18 first so why would diving be any different.) Before you open your ignorent mouth again maybe you should really try to understand the real issues at hand or are you some kind of TDI stooge just trying to twist the facts?? BTW you listed a fairly new PADI number (in fact your over 700,000 past where their actual professional numbers are being issued at) did you copy the last half of your OW cert number to try and make it look like a professional member number? (if your going to try to pass a fake then at try to make it look real) Obviously your just a simple minded open water diver who probably never truely paid attention or studied fully in your classes and I would also venture to guess from your ignorent and bitter remarks that you have not actually underwent any professional level training to actually understand why the programs are set up the way they are or did you simply fail your exams?? (which are actually very simple) If I'm wrong about your training level & member number and you are actually a PADI member then there is really no excuse for your ignorence other than stupidity. The initial programs are meant to be relativly simple to understand based on a well researched and proven educational concept, it has noting to do with time or economics (as it is there is no profit in teaching a PADI OW class, most of us teach for our own enjoyment of introducing others to our love). Really man, get a clue! You really sound like a joke!
