Seriously though, maybe we can get a combined list and have mod sticky it to the "New 2 Scuba" or "Intro" or FAQ?

I found that on a side page of the old SB, but it is out of date. I'd love to see an update. Looking forward to Andy's work; I was just copying.

I've noticed that some folks have PDIC in their signature section. Reading a few posts up I see that PDIC = Professional Diving Instructors Corporation. Is this a NAUI or PADI organization or completely stand alone? Just curious. What do they offer? Website? "Notes from the field". Best Pratices? etc...

Thanks

Hey i'm one of those PDIC folks website :www.pdic-intl.com
AND NO we are not part of PADI or NAUI !!!

Actually we are another training agency just like them whos been around since1950 used to train military (used to be professional diving instructors college) and was changed to corporation when started training civilians. we are a small agency and a founding member of the RSTC. The only agency that requires all instructor trainers to go to HQ to be certified.
Not very much emphasis is given on promoting PDIC gear but more on the quality of education.(though i sometimes wonder if more emphasis should be put on merketing since other agencies like to bash us; try typing pdic as a search subject on google, youll get : did you mean padi?)

Most instructors follow the minimum course content and add on what they think is relevant and submit course outline to HQ. Gives for an agency somewhat not very well known but that trains excellent divers (of course some exceptions apply) and allows for great flexibility of its instructors.

Any chance of pointing me to the "TOS"?

I probably read them when I joined but I can't find them now.

Thanks.

I was looking for a prohibition on political discussion. I didn't see one per se... does anyone else see anything that might be construed as prohibiting political posts as they relate to diving? I caused a stir this morning and was told that politics wasn't allowed.
