Dear Instructors and Dive Professionals:

Hello Instructors and Dive Professionals,

ScubaBoard has a new & private forum specifically for you!

This IS a place for speaking your mind
*about what you are doing right
*about problems you may encounter in your classes
*about advice (both getting and giving)
*about diving issues affecting board members

Take heart, it's just a new forum, not a different board.

Not only are the instructors not leaving, but some of the most experienced and best divers are not instructors.

 

[The Chairman]

even more instructors to Scubaboard! Which will be great for us all! :tease:

 

[TJisthe1]

go ahead and just TRY to hide from me, all I have left to do is a couple more of my practicals and I will be there with you!!:royal:

 

[lanun]

is this "Agency/Level/ID number" added due to this new forum or so we have a place to share dive ed background ?

Not being an instructor, and now having it made evident that there are things instructors hide from potential students, I'll be more wary.

Its a shame that a frank discussion about techniques, etc., can't happen in the open. Just give read-only privs to anyone who isn't an instructor.

A while back there was a long discussion about how a thread like this should be set up. Every one was able to give input and then the folks who run the board figured out how it would be done.

There have been many threads discussing training issues in the public forums and I'm certain they will continue.

I don't think it's so much a matter of hiding anything as it is preventing something from being misunderstood. There certainly are things that instructors discuss that they would never discuss in front of a potential student. I don't think that's any different than any other profession.
