This thread has been split and the discussions directed at PADI were moved to their own thread. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/whine-cheeze/325251-indepth-discussion-pros-cons-padi.html Friendly discussion is encouraged, but bashing of agencies and/or dive professionals are against the TOS and the spirit of Scubaboard. Continued antics will lead to thread bannings. Play nice!

I don't know why every time anyone points out a truthful observation about any diver certification organization, that SB Staff automatically jumps to the conclusion that they are Bashing or Whining!
TechBlue:I still don't understand why the thread was split, "The philospophy of dive training" seemed to encompass everything that was being discussed. I find this all quite confusing and now you have references between threads and none of it makes sense. This was not a PADI bashing thread more a comparison of agencies. Could it be that people on the PADI side are just too defensive about critism? When King starts picking on SEI will we need to peel off again or is that just acceptable? Also as Walter already raised the question why in Whine and Cheese, this once again reduces the thread to "whining" rather than discussion
