In my brief invovlement with this board, I've been astonished at all the agency bashing. I'm just wondering why so much bashing! If PADI is so bad, why does NAUI allow instructors to cross over? If NAUI is so bad, why does PADI allow instructors to cross over? (etc.. with SSI and others). I have a feeling that this is just a way for some divers to express their discontent with the evolution of the sport: going from an exlusive few, specialy trained adrenaline junkies to an adventure sport accesible to most...or it might be the "power by numbers" theory where some believe bigger is better. Well rejoyce, as of today anyone who is interested can join my newly created dive agency which goes by the acronym S.A.D (Shut-up And Dive). There are only 2 skills that must be perform to receive your certification: 1-Shut-up and 2- Dive
