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 am personally very proud of the list of people who > really hate me - this tells me we are on the right track. 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...
