Caving without training or supervision?
Stupidity runs in people, not agencies.
It's not if they were PADI or NAUI.
There are just some people that don't understand that dead is dead, and yes it can happen to them!
What hit me the wrong way is that you sound like the owner/instuctors at one of the shops here. They do not get my business.
They say things like........
"If you haven't trained with us you really don't know how to dive."
"You will come back here for training."
"We are the best"
in response to asking about Steel Tanks and Din valves.... "Why would anybody want to dive with those?"
Just because some PADI instructor tells me or you that PADI is better, doesn't mean they are.
Cool my jets?
In order to make a statement that one thing is better than another, you need to make a comparison. you can't compare an apple to an orange if you've never seen or had an orange.
If your training is PADI that's great. But don't say PADI is better than NAUI unless you've got some comparisons. What do they do better or different in PADI training than they do in NAUI training?
If you don't know, then don't make statements like that.
