Do any of you think the CDS does a poor, dangerous job of training divers to dive in caves? @tbone1004 @rjack321 @rddvet @CptTightPants21 ?
Really??
depending on how I'm feeling that day
well, not really since the CDS has an irrelevant amount of cave instructors, but like I said earlier in the thread, about 15-20% of them I would classify as poor cave instructors depending on how I'm feeling that day and if someone asked me about taking a course with them I would recommend them go elsewhere. These are the same instructors that have a reputation of being "easy" and certain students are steered towards them to basically have a guaranteed card. This was discussed probably 4 years ago on Cave Dive Forum and it did not go over well then.
The CDS likes to beat its chest about the multiple instructor sign-off thing but with less than 30 instructors in Florida they have ZERO quality control checks on their instructors after they are signed off which leads to a massive amount of complacency, especially amongst those that have been teaching for several decades
Text me your list. I wonder if we agree, lol
Not here, mods can read your pm
I don't think so....I am a mod and an admin...we cannot read your PM's.

This is true. There's a hack somewhere that can be installed to do just that, and I would fire anyone who tried to implement it. Me included. The only way we read PMs that aren't our own is if one of the parties reports it.I don't think so....I am a mod and an admin...we cannot read your PM's.
