I like how some members expressed themselves. I do not feel that this site needs to take on the position of verification. If you want to verify whom you are diving with then do it before you dive. This site has taken care of where to find dive buddies, now you either trust your buddy or check them out before you dive with them. As one member put it " you will find out real quick who can dive and who cannot " !
So for me, No verification needed to be a member of this site.
