ScubyDoo:People who constantly gripe about poor training.
Im a new diver who believes I recieved first rate training through PADI. Most of those who are always ragging on current training standards seem to be those who took thier initial training before I was born. They have had a long time to develop thier skills, and its oh so easy to rag on new divers coming out. Im betting they werent too swooft right when they were newbies either!
Of course, the Catch-22 situation is that novice divers are completely unqualified to select or recognise a good instructor or training course.
I suppose in an ideal world someone who wanted to start diving would spend a few months reading about and investigating the sport before ever approaching a training centre - but that's never going to happen.
