There are so many things wrong with this statement.

People always have the right to choose. Always! As a PADI instructor, PADI can dictate the standards I use when I teach PADI classes, but that's it. How I dive when I don't have students with is my own business.

PADI doesn't have a full cave class. So what you're saying is that if I get cave certified from a different agency I shouldn't be allowed to be a PADI instructor? Does that sound logical?

Gillenvy, do you always wear a snorkel? If not, (according to you) you are in direct violation of PADI standards.
Do you do the predive safety check every time you dive? I doubt it.

If I take a Solo Diver course from another agency should PADI immediatly be able to pull my instructor license? Why should they?

Have you ever entered a shipwreck or cavern/caribbean swim-through without the property "PADI Specialty"?

I don't know scubafreak or how he dives; but he's well within his rights to do whatever he feels comfortable with. I only hope that when people solo dive they use common sense & good judgement.
