mscmicrobiology- Pardon me for going OT here (mods, feel free to move it). On the chance that you are involved in microbiology...What are your thoughts on how to deal with cuts and scrapes in areas where so-called flesh eating bacteria have been an issue? My understanding is that there are two...

Just wondering, since there are so many different "editions" (dated by year, not by any other apparent versioning) for the PADI EAN course book, does anyone know if PADI has actually been making changes in the course material, or the tables they're using? Moving from 1.6 to 1.4 as the preferred...
