I am not sure if this is in the right forum and if it is not, I do apologize.
My question is simple, If you find someone misleading themselves about their level of training and certifications (either on the board or elsewhere) how do you handle that?
If you are the only one who knows, do you post it on the forum and say "hey, this person isn't who they say they are, or aren't trained to the level to which they attest." Do you let them advertise that they want to go diving with someone regardless and hope the person(s) who agree to go diving with them check their certification cards?
In an open water environment such as someone not having a night/limited visibility class this is perhaps not as big a deal as if you go cavern/cave diving with someone (arguably), though both situations pose dangers.
Do you always ask to see all the applicable certification cards of those you dive with before getting in the water with them? What happens if you are on the boat and the person left their cards in the car (as my wife and I do)
I guess, how would the members of this forum handle this type of situation.
Thanks
