When money is tight, perhaps dive opts will risk more to make ends meet, right? We might cut corner. Have you noticed where accidents might have happened because folks are trying to put food on the table?
Example would be a dive opt taking a boat out when the weather is too rough, putting lives or limbs at risk.
Signing up a student for OW or passing a student through OW when you know that they are not fit to dive?
Neglecting maintenance on rental regs, BC's etc. because you don't have the man power, fund, or resources?
Perhaps even the scuba certifying agencies are scraping the bottom of the barrels for money? Offering sub-OW courses, relaxing requirements, pushing for more folks to be dive professionals?
