PADI and DC rating

[24940]

I've seen several PADI pros identified as Dive Con in their profile under Dive Classification, but that is a SSI rating. What's up?

I've checked your example. If you're referring to the line in their profile, this is done by the user himself.

Dive Classification: Instructor / Assistant Instructor / Dive Master / Dive Con

It's the generic classification for dive professionals.

Members sporting the Dive Con badge have had to prove their credentials.

I'm not questioning anyones credentials, I'm just pointing out that Dive Con is an SSI rating and there are PADI Dive Masters and AIs flying that flag. I understand it's a default thing, but it isn't correct and there is a difference between the ratings.


Thanks for taking a look.

It's also the other way round. SSI Dive Cons can have a DM classification even though SSI doesn't have a DM rating.

And a SSI Instructor can be a padi open water diver, still a step down and not correct

Yes, it is consistently screwed up.
