No, they shouldn't need to be affiliated with a shop.

By no means should an instructor have to be attached to a dive shop to certify people.
Instructors should be able to work independently.

why on earth not?
it's not the shop that certifies people, it's the instructor
(i think we've lost our perspective here)
btw, the best instructors i know are independent

No, an instructor shouldn't be required to be attached to a shop. They should be able to get certified as an instructor and teach as an independent, or sub-contract to a shop or number of shops.
