Instructor's ethics and dilemas.

[captdave]

Well
I see where this is going. I just want to answer liquids remarks about sending a student to another shop. YOUR FIRED!!!!
Every dive shop sells quality equipment..There is no inferior equipment just equipment better than others..They all have to support a life.. If you sent one of my customers to another shop this is highly unethical and I would fire you on the spot...

I am going to start a new thread on making money as a scuba instructor.. So if any of you out there want to get into the subject more closely look for the new thread.

Captdave-
I dont mean a purchase of items that my shop holds, in good price and good quality. I mean certain items, that in the shop I worked for were way overpriced, aspecialy considering thei'r quality. I wont advice a student to buy a low qulity item just becouse the shop I work for dosen't have any better, while for less money he can get better elsewhere. As for most equipment, of course I will go for the shop's selection, aspecialy as I do think it was good and on good price. There were certain Items that the policy of my shop regarding them really, in my opininon was wrong. I won't promote such things.

And last thing-
You don't fire a good instructor so fast, aspecialy in a buisness that makes most of it's money not from selling equipment, rather, from courses.
