Hi Adam, You sound like the kind of an individual I would fail out of an IDC for=20 trying to cover up your lack of self confidence. Don't try to build yourself up by trying to rip others down. It doesn't=20 work. And of course the cursing adds immeasurably to my respect for you. Take care and dive safe, Scott Some weeks it's just not worth the effort to gnaw through the restraints and= =20 scramble up out of the pit.

So=20 did the training agencies with their moron instructors and lack of training=20 standards. You are a typical PADI brainless propaganda puppet. I don=E2=80= =99t give=20 a shit if you are MSDT. It does not impress me. It means shit. Question is d= o=20 you have the necessary skills and ability to teach diving? This is where we=20 have a difference off opinion. I stand against the agencies bull shit to=20 lower the standards to produce instructors and impressive sounding worthless= =20 titles. Pass these morons regardless of their skills and teaching ability to= =20 gain market share. Typical response from a PADI instrictor =E2=80=9CI am a P= ADI MSDT=20 Instructor=E2=80=9D. Un fortunately for you, your MSDT means shit to people=20= who have=20 been around diving. Thanks to your moron colleagues and your PADI Agency. I= =20 have been involved with many IE=E2=80=99s and IDC=E2=80=99s. In the last few= years I have=20 seen so many morons pass IE regardless of their ability it is sad. Think wha= t=20 PADI teaches you during IDC. They drill you with these statements =E2=80=9CB= y the end=20 of this session=E2=80=A6=E2=80=9D Promote continuing education for your next= class. =E2=80=9CYou all=20 did a great job however=E2=80=A6..=E2=80=9D Do these statements ring a bell?= It is a joke.=20 You can read from your slate during pool, your lectures are written by the C= D=20 and handed for your to read. You get to see all the written exams during IDC= ..=20 Every one is passed unless they do something real stupid. If one fails, no=20 worries they will pass on the second time around. After that, pay and get a=20 new title. May be they should go back to macho/militaristic training see how= =20 many fat slob moron instructors would pass the test? Wakeup man these dumb=20 morons are teaching life saving skills. What is scarier now they are going t= o=20 teach tech diving. Here is another dumb morons story this guy who barely mad= e=20 it trough the IE on his second time. (I would not dive with this idiot in th= e=20 pool let alone open water) Then he went to Our World Under Water in Chicago=20 and attended a seminar became an IANTD Nitrox instructor. He had no clue wha= t=20 Nitrox was. Then he sends $10 or 15 to TDI by mail and become a TDI Nitrox=20 instructor. No skills, no clue, but impressive resume. There are great=20 instructors out there cross all training agencies. To me this is the ultimat= e=20 insult to all good instructors regardless of agency who worked hard on their= =20 skills and material, care about quality and safety of their students. I thin= k=20 this subject is beaten few times. My worry is these morons barely have the=20 ability to teach sport diving now they are teaching tech-diving and killing=20 more people in the process. Forcing the good government to step in and=20 regulate diving or gases we use. It all boils down to greed morons and=20 money!!!
