MikeS once bubbled...
And why is there another thread here when an entire category Padi v. Diverlink was added to discuss it?
Mike, in another thread Walter responded to an assertion that the standards of the various agencies are pretty much the same with his "not even close" remark that we all have heard over and over. (Oddly enough I agree with him on that.) He then went on to direct readers to the article on Diverlink rather than outline the differences in agencies - a line of discussion which he thought off topic for the particular thread.
Believing that particular article is unfair, poorly constructed and not a good source of information for soon-to-be divers, I responded with my comments above. My intention was not to start a new thread or to get too far off topic but to counter what I felt was bad advice. I'm not sure that I agree that it was off topic given the direction of the thread but Walter seems to think so and split the thread. It seems improper to me that someone involved with a discussion can just up and slice out what he may not like but there you have it.
It somehow seems unfair to comment on the article when Walter is not at liberty to discuss it. Yet, he is the one that brought it up. So, I guess that anything is fair game.
