pretty true.
PADI just pulled the five star resort rating from a friend of mine, a Master PADI Instructor who
I think teaches the best OW, the best rescue course here. He is the ONLY guy who bought a defibrillator for his boat, etc, etc The reason? They
won't "say" but many of us think it is because other operators asked them to, and it was a bottom line money lobby.
PADI is losing clout, maybe not cash. I don't really want anything to do with PADI.
Here is the page
he claims they requested he remove:
Scuba Diving Hawaii with AAA Diving of Honolulu, Oahu
On the home page he refers to SB..I had nothing to do with any of this, it's old news at this point. Let's just say, I've seen all I need to see.
Yea, just like the sub-prime mortgages.
