Greg,

I believe what the OP was asking is if a moderated forum could be formed that would not be accessible to all users only those in the pro ranks after a request for access and being verified as a Divermaster or above.

Maybe as a Club with it’s own forum section? Maybe all clubs could have their own section of forums?



divebuddy is, I believe, a forum for ALL divers to learn from others experience’s from the just certified to the consummate professional, if you try to secularize classes of the mass’s you take that away from the SPIRIT of this web site.I can - but choose NOT to become a dive instructor for two personal reason’s (1 I am not patient enough,nor tolerant enough to deal with the general public, (2 the arrogance of SOME dive instructor’s has turned into a competition of who know’s more,who’s better then who, and it hurts the sport in general, I know of 4 people who each of them with different instructors have been turned off from diving because of the SUPERIOR EGO during and after they’r training.-to suggest an INSTRUCTORS ONLY club would widen this division and defeat the SPIRIT of divebuddy...
