As I understand it, the reason TDI has taken this action is that the 
manufacturer of the Inspiration has no product liability insurance.  The 
manufacturer sells only to instructors, who may then resell to their 
students.  That makes the instructor the importer/reseller and could make 
them responsible for product liability.  The liability might also spill over 
onto the instructor's agency.  The sharks go after whomever has money.

Safe diving,
