Havin a hard time part II

[tiggrr]

So, I signed up for this class 2 months in advance. 5 days before class, I get a post card telling me the shop is closing. I call the other store and yes, Class is still on. I show up for class and the instructor has no idea who I am or that I am in this class. The next class, which is classroom, I find out it is now a NAUI class and I have all PADI materials. The next class, pool session, I have major problems with the instructor and have to switch classes. (this is outlined in post 'havin a hard time')

Next class is awesome. Instructors great. Feeling good. Because of time constrants, they were going to finish my training with 2 private classes. So, I play phone tag for a week with the guy. Turns out, he has decided to move home and there are no other instructors available. Did I mention home is Turkey?? They are willing to have me come to the store that is 1 hour away and tutor me for a bit then, take the written test and give me a referral. Even though I only had 1 classroom where the instructor spent 1/2 the time bragging about his trips and the other 1/2 giving us the answers to the test.

I don't feel comfortable with that so, I found another dive shop that has the time to work with me.

I am not upset or angry......I just want to learn how to dive. I know on my end I have made good decisions. With a whole lot of crazy bad luck. Have had a few laughs with friends about this 'bad luck' Turkey?

Is this kind of unprofessionalism very common??

My dive instructor's great, he's worked around my schedule and bent over backwards to help me. I'm having a great time learning, finished the pool sessions and do my first open water dive tomorrow (monday)
