JackSpearo:I think it would be okay to revoke certs, but I just wish it was a lot harder to get the certification in the first place...
I mean, I guess I wish there was a like 30% fail rate...
and then you had to retake the course over again...it should be similar to driver licenses...
Yes look at what a sucess the drivers ed training is!!
So if there was a 95% failure rate would that make a better training course? The few divers that graduated would be awesome! ummm How hard would instructor training be maybe a 99% failure rate. Good luck getting out on a snorkel charter with this system (there won't be any scuba charters).
Failure rate as I have said in many of these threads is NOT an indication of good training. It is an indication that whoever let these people in the class did not screen them properly before taking there money to teach them to dive (Think greed).
Instead ask instructors/shop owners how many people they turn down to take an OW or AOW class?
