Diving accidents were not common years ago , now when a DM or Instructor card is given out to anyone with a couple thousand dollars to spend, accidents are more common place
Care to back up that claim with actual figures and sources?
Any DM or Instructor candidate should be evaluated by peers,..... shop owners to see if they qualify, after all,.
Probably the worst people to ask, especially in busy resorts. Most try the "you're great in the water be a DM" thing to get the money.
