Yes, but............. We were discussing the paradigm of the student and the incompetent instructor. It would seem that there are at least some instructors that dont understand what they are doing. We both know they are out there, we see their students all the time. < ccard please? oh scuba network, you've had no formal training then> THe guy who paniced over the lost mask, was he trained correctly?? The guy who was cut out of a brand new northern diver dry suit after blowing up on the Lizzie, becasue his instructor told him to close the exhaust valve and never open it during the dive,< I saw the suit and heard the story at Raimo's>, did he receive quality instruction? who is at fault there?? If you dont know any better and no one else tells you your instructor is a moron, who should shoulder the burden of that, the student?? We know who the asshole instructors are, but we dont say anything, why?? Doesn't our silence implicate us in their suffering??
