What i pesonally think on this, is that, like Joel says,  instructors
make the agencies.
What matters if I am a IANTD, TDI, ANDI, NASA, instructor? I think it is
what I say, and how I teach that matters.

I understand however that if someone is into the scuba training business
to earn his living, trying to stick to the DIR principle, is not very
profitable. At least here in Greece. I am glad I am not in such a
position, else I would end being a poor instructor :-)

However, others do teach, anybody, anyhow. Can you imagine a "tech
course" run with equipment provided by to diving school ? I've seen that
many times. In fact, all the time....

This was the reason why i sent you that mail about the brittanic
expedition, remember ?

I know that feeling... I am facing something similar here, too. But
honest George, doesn't this makes you EGO fly high :-)) ???

Keep up the good work, buddy...

Nick
