Recently someone posted a photo on Facebook with text that read,"No one who offers $99 scuba courses does so because they want to create better divers."
I thought this was an important topic for an intelligent discussion. A founder of the one of the training agencies recently told me that he had research that showed a correlation between the advent of cheap weekend scuba courses and diver retention decline. Another multi-shop owner recently said that he is considering dropping his $99 courses.
What is your opinion?

Thank you
p.s. I also posted this in the Instructor forum because I would like to see how the answers differ between forums.
