Scuba diving is easy.
Teaching scuba diving is easy.
PADI doesn't want people to know this.
That is why they try to make it more difficult than it has to be or else they would probably be out of a job.
Most people get things the first time, some take 2 times, stupid people take maybe 3. PADI thinks everyone needs to hear the same thing at least 12 times over again.
PADI have 1 order of how things are done. 1 way only!
You want to change that order? I don't think so, you fail!
Did your changed order still work? yes!
Did it maybe even work better than the PADI way? YES!
TOO BAD YOU FAIL!
I must keep reminding myself that PADI was designed to teach the "average" American how to scuba dive. The "average" american obviously has the listening span and inteligence of a 4 year old. Too bad you have to be at least 10 years old to learn to scuba dive.
Though really who cares if they do it wrong because they are stupid? I'm pretty sure Darwin had something to say about that, survival of the fittest and all that.
As you can probably tell I'm getting a little bored of how the Instrutor examination is set up. The person I have instructoring me really good, and he will be the first person to say how stupid PADI's examination process is set up. He was actually the first full time instructor in New Zealand and has been teaching scuba diving for over 30 years, he has certified over 2000 PADI instructors and countless divers, and yes he thinks PADI's instructor examination is completely stupid.
That being said just 2 more weeks and I'll be done and assuming I can jump through all the anally retentive hoops I will be an instructor.
