I am stuck between a rock and a hard place so I thought I would ask this to everyone.

I recently had 3 adv. nitrox students. Two of them performed really well and are great divers.

The third one presented me with a problem. While his, dive skills, trim, theory was excellent , he carried a very arrogant attitude and would not work well with the other two.

He got full marks on the theory and has performed really well, but I dont know if I ought to pass him as he has a bit of an cocky attitude and will constantly humiliate everyone else. He behaved different with me around but the others were not happy.

Others that know him say he is the same with everyone else and refuses to work with everyone.

Opinions?

Hi Ali,

First of all, excuse me for my reproach. I am not a very good English speeker and it is hard for me to be accurate choosing my words.

Said that, your post is entitled "Ethics". I do not want to write about this thing; for me ethic is a serious subject talking about amateur sports, but not for teaching.

Are you really asking in the forum what criteria you -the instructor- should apply on the courses?

How can your students know your requirements before choosing your courses? May I be missing anything?

Sorry for being so direct,

Igor
