PADI,NAUI, etc etc are there to make money. Who is going to pay for this recertification, the instructor, the agency? PADI and others uses a QA system to monitor instructors. They send out questionaires to students and ask if certain things were taught, how many confined water dives etc. To put every instructor through a re-qual every so often would be an administrative nightmare.
