I think there has to be a greater focus on educating students AND instructors because despite the fact that every agency's standards forbid overhead to untrained divers, there have been a number of recent incidents. I don't say "accidents" because I agree with Steve Lewis on that point, it's not an accident. Evidently, what's being taught is not enough. This applies accross the board, but I think the open water sidemount class offers greater temptation to venture into the overhead environment. I don't know how to fix it, I'm not an instructor of any kind, just a diver.
