Just a matter of clarity!!! I do apologize for the miss wording of my post. It was never my intension to say a one day certifcation was being offered, it should have been referal.
Secondly, I let my frustration toward a certain person get the best of me in a matter that should never been addressed in this forum.
Third, all that Wookie has stated is fact with my major concern that the industry is dumbing down training to make a dollar. Sorry I will not and cannot do it (see my post on instructor forum).
I guess my question is when does it stop? The certifying instructor has the final say on the cert, and certain dive shops are sending, one day wonders, to the resorts, live-a-board dive boats, Flordia and where ever to handle these minimally trained divers! Will it take a fatality or serious injury to open the training agencies eyes?
I cannot blame the student becuase I believe with good intensions they sign up for what they are told is adaqute training.
Anyhow, for those of you that know me I tend to be a fair and to the point kinda guy! What occurred on this post was truely a mistake!
Good diving!!!
