Looks like you've been registered here longer than I have. Too bad you don't discuss things with us more often - could certainly be interesting. I see that you had some posts pulled - I missed those.PoseidonSv:What is not allowed on this board?
Questioning diving agencies or other things, where is the line of what is allowed to be asked here?
Agency bashing is discouraged, but reasonable questioning is encouraged - some degree of ranting allowed. Your extensive research and self training is impressive, but without the Cert Cards to show the Ops and satisfy their Liabilities risks, that does leave you open to having to prove yourself in some parts of the world, for sure. Still, the Cert Cards do satisfy those needs in some areas, and it can be more objective to work with the Insts & Agencies in obtaining basic cards while also doing your own training & development.
Then, posting on this board, where so many come to obtain knowledge in a safety oriented board can really become again a case of having to prove yourself. I do hope you find reasonable means to both, as you certainly sounds like you could add a lot to the board, within the needed parameters of this online community.
Gosh, I am glad you're not so harsh about my typos. Hehe, if you were to run a search on my name with keyward America, you may not find many posts as I do usually stipulate that I am talking about USAmerican standards, USAmericans, etc.Whatever... In any case, "America" is a proper name, and therefore, is capitalized.
SB is a Florida based community, of course, heavily influenced by USAmerican majority it seems, but we certainly enjoy International contributions. What is normal & accepted in some parts of the word may fall short of minimum standards accepted here at times, but our acceptance level is usually pretty good.
