So you met a bad apple. I'm sorry about that.
But now you blow off exactly the folks who might buy your paper PICs.
Nice job.
I'll offer you $10 for the pair of them.

That maybe. But how much should a Peak Performance Buoyancy course cost? Each elective course cost $130-$180 in instructor fees.
Are their standard course costs and practices that PADI shops and instructors are supposed to follow? I only know what my local shops charges and how these shops do business.
On a side note, I've feel like I've needed to be a bit defensive in this thread for just sharing my experiences with the PADI course system and putting what I thought was market price for a PIC card (because of how much I was charged).
I understand "you get what you pay for" and "only take courses from good instructors" but how can someone new to diving possibly know how to quantify what either of those are? You go to a local dive shop, sign up for OW or an elective or whatever, and then are assigned an instructor. I'm not sure how I, the consumer, could have made a more informed decision at the time. This is more a question to group than directed at anyone.
