PA= DI is nothing but a moneymaking bullshit that switches with wind and dollar signs. Years ago PADI wanted the dive instruction market so they manufact= ured bullshit instructors at PADI collage. So little fat slob instructors that= don=92t know their ass from hole in the ground will make little divers th= at do little dives. They closed down the PADI Collage because they did not make enough money. Then PADI changed the dive master in water qualificati= on standards because their fat slob out of shape dive master craniates could= not swim. Because it was too hard. PADI also said if you dive over 130 feet you will die. They also said Nitrox and Trimix is bullshit. Guess what? Now they see there is money to be made they are in Nitrox and Techn= ical training. Of course they are going to have flashy bullshit stolen trainin= g materials. They constantly screw divers to make money.
