Well, this is a bit of a twist on the regular questions about specialty courses...
I was reading the PADI website, www.padi.com, and was reading through the certification map, and read the specialty instrcutor page. It suggested that one (obviously an instructor) would be able to make up there own specialty course, write the materials for it and construct a curriculum, and then teach it!
:jawdrop:Is what I was reading correct??! If this is true, and you make someone pay for this course you invented, how is it accreditied with PADI? DO you just write to them and say "Here, I made up this specialty course, can you make it so I can say its accepted as a PADI specialty course"?
Seems a little incredulous to me...
anyone? thoughts?
