I did keep the gentleman's name for future reference...
This is a new one to me (things do change), I would like the know the name of the person in PADI Training. We are a 5 Star IDC Training Facility and as far as I know, all students are required to have their own books for class. I try to check and be current with all of our updates ( I'm human and could have missed it) but I have not seen a changes.

FWIW, his statement was along the lines of "PADI wants to ensure that each certified diver has access to the materials after their certification if they choose to utilitize it for further review or to refresh their memory at a later date. Allowing family members residing in the same house accomplishes that goal as far as PADI is concerned."
