This thread started with a diver asking questions about his potential for earning money as a scuba professional. With that start, the thread took the predictable path of telling him that he should not expect to make money as a scuba instructor. That is the common view of Scuboard participants, and it is justified.
The thread could have started a different way. It could have instead started with someone talking about having had to pay a certain amount for a scuba diving course. If it had started that way, it would have taken the predictable path of telling him that scuba dive operators who charge money for teaching are nothing but money grabbers and are beneath contempt.
