Walter, I spent a bit of time poking around the dtmag.com site and couldn't find the article you mentioned. Can you help me? Thanks!I see too much of it and this month's Dive Training even has an article explaining why an inferior product is a good thing. It's not a good thing and articles like that disgust me.
Next class to take

Excellent way of looking at it, now I see why they call you Yoda.Agency bashing is not a good thing. OTOH, every bad thing said about an agency is not bashing. If you say "Agency A is horrible," that is bashing. If you say, "Agency A doesn't require skill B in their X class and I think that is an unsafe practice," that is not bashing. It is pointing out a legitimate disagreement you have with Agency A and explaining why. I would then have the option of explaining why I thought Agency A shouldn't include skill B in their X class. That is informed debate, not bashing.
That would be very helpful Walter. I'd like to make an informed choice before I go down the Pro route.Comparisons of agencies are very rare. I can point you to one I wrote a few years ago if you're interested.
The sea does not belong to despots. On its surface iniquitous rights can still be exercised, men can fight there, devour each other there, and transport all terrestrial horrors there. But at thirty feet below its level their power ceases, their influence dies out, their might disappears.
Ah, sir, live in the bosom of the waters! There alone is independence. There I recognise no masters! There I am free.

Jamie and Linda,
It starts on page 32 of the November issue. How Did We Get Here?: A Short History of Diver Training.
The article doesn't appear to be on the weebsite, although there are references to it, it is the cover article.
