Your Latest Poll View messages to/from this member.
I’m guessing the results of your latest poll are not what you were expecting?
It sounds like you have little respect for instuctors can I ask why?
I myself have found the mix of instructors to be something like 65/35 those I respect to those I wouldn’t miss. Some are always better than others but the 35% are just full $#%&. The majority I find knowledgeable people dedicated to passing on their enjoyment of the sport.
I was under the impression that you were friends with Joe and Justin.
Happy New Year,

FIRST OFF you must think that there is some sort of competition/ justification issue with my survey,FAR FROM IT! the survey was to find out what others thought of this subject. to ass-u-me otherwise is pure speculation on your part,- you see, this is how information is exchanged by the general public..
as far as my respect for dive instructors is concerned, I had a fantastic/hilarious instructor that made my learning experience very enjoyable and entertaining as well as informative,- it was as fun and instructive as PADI said it would be to learn this sport. BUT after meeting and seeing how other dive instructors treated there charges I realized just how blessed I was to have been instructed by a true PRO. I worked on a dive vessel in Oahu and have dived around other instructors enough to have MY PERSONAL OPINION. respect is EARNED but when it is EXPECTED due to one’s "status" it is a folly !
I am against ANY group/organization that condones limiting knowledge to a chosen few to protect they’re "status" as I have stated, I chose NOT to be an instructor, but I still would like to learn through experience, debate, surveys,forum’s, as much as I possibly can about this sport,-has it EVER occurred to you that the information the VERIFIED INSTRUCTORS ONLY ELITE so arbitrarily throw around amongst themselves MIGHT have been of life saving value to us noninstructors BEFORE we got into trouble ????
as far as my friendship with joe and justin is concerned, they have EARNED my respect , for you to suggest that I have some animosity towards them simply because they are instructors/ course director is assumptive and childish....... I have enjoyed this DEBATE with you and hope to have many more, regardless of our PERSONAL opinions on any subject now or in the future I would still dive with you,!
