PADI "Looking Good" Certification

[chillyinCanada]

No. Your course outline is evaluated and you may or may not get approved to teach it. Others can't. The fee to PAI is a one-time fee to get your instructor card; what you charge for a class is up to you and PADI doesn't care. As far as I know, even though the course name may be specious, there has to be some underlying value to the diver and diving for it to be approved.

IME on the Caribbean "2-tank morning dive" this only happens if both sites are within 5-ish minutes of the pier. Most of the time they aren't.

Where do you dive in the Caribbean? Most of the places that I go are close enough for a return between dives.

Westpunt Curacao: sometimes GoWest does "close" boat dives but the ones you actually go to are not.

Bonaire w/ Dive Friends: Klein and the few not-so-shore-accessible sites North of Buddy's are too far. Especially back when they sailed from Yellow Sub pier.

Turquoise Bay, Roatan: SWS do the "checkout" day in front of the resort, but most days the 2 morning dives are too far.

It was worth plodding through the entire 5-year thread just for this payoff.

(And maybe the Japanese knee-high girl.)

And there is my proof.
