--0-2007905771-984588719=:62254 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii When PADI started they where non profit organization. I am not against PADI making money. I stand against PADI�s bullshit to lower the standards to produce instructors and sell impressive but worthless titles. They are certifying instructors regardless of their skills and teaching ability to gain market share. Because PADI believes more instructors produce more divers. More divers mean more money. Do you know instructor candidates will be marked down if they fail to promote up coming classes. (Basket weaving or perhaps Pumpkin Carving Specialty any one) As I said again and again there are great instructors out there. The ultimate insult to all good instructors regardless of agency who worked hard and care about quality, safety of their students is to be put in to the same class as these morons. Because they happened to share the same Master Instructor Trainer title. Difference is one earned the title and the other bought it. ;-) Cheers Adam William Anzueto <willanz@ms*.co*> wrote: Adam, Interesting that you should post this.... I wonder what kind of business you are in...do they make money by providing a service or material? That's what makes the world go round. So yes PADI is in for making money...and now the rest of the agencies are cachting up. My training: PADI Instructor. GUE Cave 1 and doing Cave 2 next month. My opinion on PADI....agency just makes the outline....the instructor makes a big difference. I train my courses since GUE Cave 1 very differently.
