Without PADI and it's marketing/promotion there wouldn't
be any dive industry. It's the scuba Walmart. The Ford. The
Chevrolet. The Piper Cub. Without PADI there'd be nothing
but NAUI,SSI and their comical sidekicks, the DIR crew sitting
around sneering at each other.

Hooray for PADI!!

Correction:

It's a Pinto. Cheap, inefficient, and dangerous.
 
Lawman might be trying to start something, Walter may be laughing....but irregardless PADI has exposed more people to diving than all the other companies combined!!!!!!!!!!!

Say what you want about PADI, but they are by far the most influential dive organization EVER!!!!

Enron was the biggest in their field also.
 
I really do say thank heavens for PADI. I took my OW with them and loved it so much that I head out to the cold dark quarry every weekend.

Now, granted, I am working with another agency toward my AOW, but it was PADI that poked me out of the nest.
 
You guys kill me.....

DD, does PADI have accounting issues?

Walter, is it not a good thing that soo many new people get exposed to diving each year because of PADI?

I don't know.

The point is that the biggest is not always the best.
 
Lawman,
You're great! I always look forward to your trolls to end my week on an up note.
Hope you're diving this weekend.
