Jim, Unfortunately what was said in the first half of my mail is plain simple
fact. As an instructor in the field I see it day in and day out, the blind
leading the blind. 
And no I didn't learn the hard way, actual 90% self taught thru as you say
reading , experiencing, assembling and disassembling gear etc. many times a
long time ago. What you say is true some people where NOT meant to be divers,
especially deep divers, BUT I HAVE YET TO SEE AN INSTRUCTOR DURING ANY COURSE
SUGGEST TO A STUDENT THAT THIS TYPE OF DIVING IS NOT MEANT FOR YOU AND YOU
SHOULD GO HOME. 
The fact of the matter is the Dive industry is a commerical concern and to
exist it must SELL.
This means with much regret that certifications are sold, not earnt, 99% of the
time, eg. a candidate pays his upfront fees for said course, and from that
momment on his/she belives that it is their GOD given right to a C card by the
end, rain, hail or shine.
 
FACT, PERIOD.

Regretably
Manny
