The funny question thing was referring to my question, "Whats a BC". I dint think anybody would take that as realdherbman:I'm a funny guy.
I agree that it would be ideal to tighten standards. Unfortunatly, it's not practical or beneficial to the industry as a whole. I wish that more emphasis would be placed on the fact that OW is more of a learners permit than a sign of having arrived as a diver. It's the very start of a very long road, yet many never follow up with their training.
People don't seem to know what they don't know and that is the root cause of many incidents.
Agree with your entire statement.
