Braunbehrens once bubbled...
I am not interested in the liability of any teaching credential, it is not a question of "effort", and I resent the implication. My info is not third hand, it is what PADI instructors have told me they can and can't do.
If you ask me PADI should REQUIRE some of these skills, and stop watering down the instruction. The way it's done now compared to when I was taught is even worse, and it was bad when I was certified.
Well they could require it but...you didn't read what I wrote. I think I explained the manufacturer, dive shop, agency relationship.
It's all marketing BS
