At the end of the story I mentioned that he had actually finished the course and is now a qualified Divemaster....thats true..however:
Three weeks after completing the course he made the mistake of purchasing a new BCD on line. It was a make that the store sold but their price was $200 odd dollars more expensive, and when he asked about the difference he was sold a story that didn't gel and therefore went on line.
Lo and behold the shop found out and promptly banned him. He can see the funny side of it now but at the time it was just nuts.
Those of you out there saying that he should have taken it further are probably right but the truth of the matter was he just wanted to dive and enjoy leading dives and it was all becoming way too complicated.
That was over a year ago...hes still banned from the shop...can't even get air fills there...but hes happy.
