I guess it's tough for the training agencies who are trying to make scuba more accessible to more people to grow the sport and be profitable, etc. etc. But it is such a dangerous line to swim; you don't want to make it so easy that the divers who get certified aren't safe or skilled enough.

I think there is a movement afloat though to start students right from the basic level with the ideals and skills of tech diving, don't you agree?
