How do you know if they’re competent instructors?

@The Chairman, et al,

What surprises me about this thread is the number of unwarranted and unmoderated attacks on the OP.

While the OP may have had issues in the past and served a ban, there was nothing warranting a good portion of the discussion here.

Your protest is commendable but will fall on deaf ears. I'm now banned from posting. It seems democracy has no bearing on Scubaboard. The trolls are baiting me to no avail. I appreciate the good folks of America. Scuba diving attracts people who are not competitive in any shape or form. So they resort to belonging to a fraternity.

Sorry, what does your post have to do with competent instructors?

I was using the post as a metaphor in case you hadn't noticed.

If you read the bottom line on one of the hypocrites who posted, you will release how flawed their logic is.
I'm just a guy who likes to dive. A lot.

I'm not seeing the flawed logic. You prefer instructors that don't enjoy diving?
