OK ... I there may be validity if you accept his assumptions at face value.Thalassamania:I will stipulate that you could edit as many completely off base paragraphs from his posts:
Again I ask ... what "you" is he talking about?
It matters ... because not all scuba instructors were created equal. Many that I know give more to their students than they charge for. FWIW - the majority of mine eventually become dive buddies. Do you really think the education ends with the receipt of a C-card? I'm not unique in that respect ... far from it. There's an awful lot of instructors out there who give an awful lot of time and effort to their students outside the classroom.
One cannot simply dwell on the "minimum standards" and assume that all instructors teach to them ... that may be the case in some parts of the world, but it certainly isn't around where I live ...
