yes and no..

i ALSO mean that a cowboy who for example decides that what might be
advances in diving technology or physiological understanding might ALSO be
thrown out with the bathwater because HE KNOWS what's best for all of us.

i guess i don't think that agency standards are a BAD thing.
in fact i think that the more stabndardised we can get courses the BETTER
off the TYPICAL consumer/student is going to be.

on the other hand, again, thsoe standards need to be well advised.
