Just remember GUE instructor do get the license revoked for whatever crime committed.Interesting attempt at moving the goal post but ok.
So you’re saying that someone was sanctioned for their actions. That’s novel, maybe the legacy agencies should try it.
You are the OP!No. Apparently this is the same as it always has been. As some of said here, SB posters have long memories.
LOL. DIR divers is NO saint!Are you saying that’s a bad thing?

All of my used regs were given to me by various sources. I do all my own work so I can go throught them and repair/service as needed. I’ve never run across a reg that was too far gone to restore.

Dive and let dive. Few DIR divers adhere to the GI3 mindset of everyone else being a stroke. That said, I have met more than my share of FIGJAMs on either side of that ideology. There are a lot of divers who have a whole lot of misconceptions about how others dive and why. Meh. Dive and let dive.

Last thing I’ll post in this thread- yes, that is exactly how the case ended. A settlement was reached.
But a similar incident happened with this shop a couple of years before (I believe?), and PADI failed to police them up or address their issues. There have been plenty of other cases- whether that is a symptom of PADI’s issues or simply a matter of so many shops being affiliated with PADI (and, as a result, many incidents “falling” at their feet) is a topic of more discussion that I’m frankly done with at this point. I’m sure you can ascertain what I think.
This thread has exhausted itself of any usefulness now. Not going to bicker over PADI, DIR, or anything else here anymore as nothing useful has been gleaned from it. Posting this thread was a mistake.
