drew52:The reason people are now required to buy the books, from what I hear, is that there have been a few lawsuits lost due to people not receiving the books. People have asked how are they supposed to remember what was taught to them 5 years back if they have no reference book. I guess it has something to do with protecting themselves and those who work under their name.
Have a link to that?
I think I know who started that rumour/scare tactic.
Wildcard:Trying to rember exactly what had been talked about on this subject. Photo copying from the book, the KRs is a copy right infringment BUT having students write there answers on blank paper and keeping those is frowned upon by PADI but it meets there standards.......
Hmmm, that's good to know. I'm looking into that. If you have any further info/links, please let us know.
