Tom, I just wondered, when this guy crosses over to
IANTD, if you are going to permit or even sanction him
teaching deep air to 74 metres.

Is this guy going to be able to call himself an IANTD
instructor and offer deep air training to 74 metres
in the same advertisement (or in the same breath)?

How can you prevent IANTD from being guilty by 
association with this selfish loop, if not by refusing 
to allow him to cross over?

regards       billyw
