It looks like PADI will be going before a jury for this one


The thing that surprises me most is that the shop didn't try to sell her the specialty course for dry suit. Normally PADI shops exist to push as many specialties on the customers as they can.
 
It seems like there is not much talk about PADI in here (a part from one comment by PBcatfish, please correct me if I'm wrong).
I first got to know this case after casually watching the video of a diver that saw what happened during the accident and was recording the whole dive with a GoPro. I'm angry, disgusted, sad and many other things that again safety stays behind profiteering.

I completely agree with James from DiversReady (see video linked by PBcatfish)
"PADI Faces Liability for Linnea Mills Death: My Hopes For The Legacy Of The Lady In The Lake"
Hope 1: PADI is finally outed.

can you elaborate on this a little more?

This has been beaten to death on the first thread on this topic….literally into the hundreds…

Suit filed in case of "Girl dead, boy injured at Glacier National Park

So when we are saying that instruction has been watered down, we are talking about individual instructors and not the agency standards, and this is something new. Got it. Yes and no. And this may not apply to every agency, but the agency sets the minimum, and that is what the instructors...

Yeah not really sure what in that 134 page thread he's referring to when he accused the guy of not being able to read that's why I was asking

Not sure? Have you actually READ that thread? It’s full of dozens of posts on this topic, with scores of uploaded screenshots of PADI materials.

either you are trolling, or…. Well we can leave it at that…
