Sure these divers are doing it incorrectly but do you feel compelled to start a bunch of threads about it and encourage people to ridicule them? How would YOU like it if the shoe was on the other foot? Why don't you contact the dive shop in question and offer them a solution?
I did't see anyone ridiculing the divers in the video, after all, why should they know any better? Pointing out poor teaching isn't ridicule.
I couldn't agree more. We get it devondiver, you are a fantastic sidemount instructor and will single handly correct every "sidemount" mistake made by someone else. Keep posting the videos and demonstrating your lack of professionalism.
There is a right and wrong way to offer criticism. I don't believe you are going about it the right way.
If you spent the same amount of time on yours and your students trim and skills as you do posting about bad instructors you would be the greatest diver/instructor in the world and may have a leg to stand on when it comes to ridiculing someone else's attempt at sidemount.
