This is the case for the PADI instructor course. The examinator is not
involved in the IDC(Instructor Development Course) and (usually) does not
know the candidates before the IE (Instructor Examination).
I just wanted to get this cleared up. For the rest I agree that competence,
and not the amount of money involved, should determine certification.
Unfortunately, this is not very often the case with commercial organisations.
