Subject: PADI: same garbage everywhere
I  have  seen PADI in Sweden, Israel and Spain and it is the very
same garbage, everywhere:

(a)  highly  stressed people who would do anything to cash in one
more  dollar;  their  stress  makes  them  do stupid things which
affect the physical integrity of the students;

(b) forget the most basic safety rules;

(c) forget divers in the reefs;

(d) use faulty equipment, etc.

PADI  appears  to  be an industry organization for american Homer
Simpsons  ... who want to be divers for 99.99 USDollars and get a
diploma to show to beer colleagues in the pub.

IMO,  universities and research centra should contact authorities
to  control  the quality of those for profit diving corporations,
impose   a program (like in any other school) and hit without any
mercy where abuses are detected.

cheers,
