I am neither an instructor or DM, and have no wish to be one or the other. Just an average diver trying to stay alive and have some fun. But in diving or any other part of life where I have to interact with "professionals" in any discipline, I will go out of my way to avoid dealing with those who exhibit a "my way or no way" attitude. I will seek out someone who is interested in operating in a collaborative mode, and is willing to say there is always something they can learn from others. I have read this entire thread, and some responses here seem to fall outside of that, to say the least ...
