Before this goes any further, this has nothing to do with whether or not you like PADI or if you agree/disagree with the way they teach, so this ISN'T meant to be an opportunity to bash PADI. That being said, here goes. This past weekend I was in Fl doing a drift snorkel down Rainbow River with a group. A dive flag was properly displayed. A pontoon from Shop X was heading upstream and our group was instructed to go right, giving the pontoon the wider, deeper part of the river to pass us. The pontoon captain made no effort to steer clear of us to the point where our group had to go left to let the boat pass us. Now maybe the captain is an idiot, maybe he's never read a rules of the water handbook, maybe he's an a$$hole. Don't know. But I do know that this has happened two weekends in a row, exact same scenario. So, the question is, does PADI care that its 5-Star diving center Shop X is being reckless on the water? Or unless it specifically involves diving, they don't care and will do nothing. Kind of like they can sell crack at the shop, as long as it isn't during dive class. Before somebody gets hurt, something needs to be done to correct this situation. I know I have the right of way, but I'm not willing to get chewed up by a prop to prove my point. Any suggestions?
