And I'm also curious of why, if padi has continuing ed course for the people "who want to go further", why this is a bad thing? I'm a padi diver and my buddy is also, and we are always practicing hovering and trying to improve our skills. I by no means feel uncomfortable in the water at all? Not even in the next to nothing viz of our lakes. People are going to make of an experience what they want to. All you can do is give them the facts and hope the choose the right path, but if they don't it is their choice to make. My instructor taught us not to touch the bottom, that destroying the reef was bad, and many other things, and oh nooo he was a padi instructor.
