"the point I really wanted to make, is that if the poor guy can't afford the $29 book, can he really afford to dive at all ??? God knows, if he can't afford $29 then he certainly can't BUY equipment, and that's also about the cost of rental equipment for one day..."
Thanks Islandhopper, you seem like a real great guy.
As for the rest of you and especially those who helped me out (I won't say who in case the PADI copywrite infringement police come looking) thank you very much. PADI and the dive industry world wide will be paid back 1000 fold from me taking this class, I assure you they haven't lost money on me.
One scenario I'd like you to consider before I leave is this. Two people, say a husband and a wife, or two roomates, take the PADI course. Do they buy two books or just one? Is it copywrite infringement if one copies the knowlege review to do thier homework? I'm quite confident that the copywrite clause is to prevent some instructor from making mass copies of the text and selling it to his or her students. Or say for example, to prevent or at least try and prevent the sort of ramant copywrite infringement that plauges Asia. Just a thought.
