In a lawsuit involving a diver death, everyone on the boat is going to be investigated. Hiding the fact that you're a DM will do no good in the long run. You don't have to walk up and down trumpeting the fact, either, but again, hiding it won't help... it's going to come out in discovery. And once it does, meet Doe #1... assuming they don't just sue everyone to cover the bases, and drop them along the line if it turns out fruitless.
So one gets a DM certification, at what point in time does one become a DM and cease being a DM?
Legally? I'm not sure. I'm not a lawyer.
As far as PADI is concerned, you're no longer an active DM as soon as you stop paying your annual dues.
Or when one recieves their assistant instructor card. Sorry couldn't resist!
