An open source training scheme, to challenge PADI's market dominance, where enthusiast-written diving training materials are submitted to a wiki and peer-reviewed to ensure their validity, safety and consistency.
Linux, for the open-minded diver.
[If anyone can think of a better category (other
than "Recycling Bin"), please suggest]

No, PADI members are expected to provide their own indemnity insurance.
If they abide by PADI procedures and maintain a proper paper trail, then PADI will defend any action against a member. PADI claims never to have lost.
If, however they don't abide by procedures or don't maintain proper records, PADI will simply walk away. Yer on yer own, mate. |

Or you could get a BSAC qualification - far superior to PADI, of course... |

//you could get a BSAC qualification // If you can wait that long. |

//but there should be some element of liability protection in there // How about guaranteed anonymity for contributors? |
|
| |
//How would an open source organisation be able to provide that same protection?// Open sourcers don't need no steekin' union <phthatt> |
|
| |
//Jacques Cousteau didn't need any steenkin' insurance either // 50 + metres on air? He'd be uninsurable. |

//If you run a business// I don't think I ever said this was the foundation of a business, just a different way of approaching dive training. |
