Friends of Brett perhaps?

Great minds think alike.

And remember, no strings...it's FREE! Only $60 a month. Please tell me how that is free. What are the credentials and facilities of the instructors?

If its free, why does it cost $60 a month?

There are a few advantages to this system -

It is free, after joining port diving {$60.00 a month) you are insured, all your training is free.

There are no time limits on training, it doesn't matter whether it takes 4 dives or 40 to master your skills, or if you can only do 1 day a week for two months.

Training is continuous, after you have your basic OW cert you will more than likely dive with your instructor on a regular basis within the club, who will take on a mentoring role. Assuming you continue to improve, these dives will start to count toward your higher certs.

Because it is club based you build up a large number of buddies quite quickly and you get access to the club , You need to be active, port diving member ,. It encourages people to dive regularly as part of the club and to continue developing your skills.

This isn't anything new. I teach at a Club that charges $50 per year. Instructors run courses and certifications and books are sold at cost. Regs, SCUBA, BCs are owned by the Club. I learned in the same manner 44 years ago. So yes, there was great diving instruction before Walmart, PADI and the insatiable greed of today's Society...

So what levels of training do you offer? I've been thinking of taking expedition trimix...

 

[scuba dew]

we would find u a Instructor that can train u in expedition trimix,as long as you are a current member of are group. go to the web site and submit your request.

if your asking if u need professional liability then yes only if u need to help teach or give tours alone, there are a few types of liability insurance, u don't have to have it if u are just diving you can still be a dive master and not teach or give tours...

Okay, will you answer the other point of my post asking about your organization:

Your group is aware of the legalities of providing "copies" of copyrighted material right? I'm pretty sure that PADI actually requires divers purchase their own copies of the educational materials (but they allow sharing within the family) though loaning the videos/DVDs is common practice at most Dive Shops.

I'm not going to defend PADI's policies but... If your group doesn't want to abide by their standards then you should certify through a different agency or contact PADI and get written approval to side-step their policies.
