> We're all adults making informed decisions about the risks we take;

Mike,

I disagree with the above for several key reasons, most notably you now have
PADI certifying 10 year olds so the notion that this sport is limited to
adults is no longer valid.  Furthermore, I'm not convinced that most
decisions are *informed* decisions..  It basically boils down to bullshit
in, bullshit out.  Look at the quality of most of the recognized training
agencies that are certifying the masses..  They don't teach you what you
need to know to make an informed decision.  They teach you what they can
package and sell in convenient time frames with promises of additional
classes and additional merit badge patches later on..

You have to have real information to make an informed decision and most
agencies don't provide enough..

Later
