Frau Farbissina has some discipline for you.I was referring to discipline.
I wouldn't say that either as I know some CDS instructors who have at the time they were made a CDS instructor they had never been through an internship. I know of one instructor who received a scooter instructor card in the mail unrequested and he couldn't figure out why. He later figured it out that is was basically a bribe to keep him quiet about some other magic cards being issued. The CDS is just as quilty of the same stuff as the other agencies do.I was referring to discipline.
That's just hearsay squared at this point: the stuff of rumors and innuendo without any supporting evidence. I have a high regard for most aspects of the NSSCDS and have seen them fail instructor wannabes.The CDS is just as quilty

I can guarantee that you will never serve on a jury of a diving fatality, more's the pity. The counsel for both sides don't want anyone on the jury who knows more of the story than they do.If a cave training agency has an instructor having a fatality where students were left alone and this is not found to be in violation of their standards, well... that agency does not want me to be a member of that jury.
