I would have thouoht that most people that do their instructor training will be aware there is no money in it.

NB... I am a PADI UK instructor, this post refers to that system, and none other!

Simple. Lower sudent/instructor ratios are safer, but more expensive because a school may have to pay 2 instructors.

A school which can offer higher pay to its instructors will have its pick, and (theoretically) choose the better instructors to run the course.

Yes, most instructors do know that there isn't a great deal of money in it. The money is further reduced by the attitude that cheapest is best and that many instructors are prepared to work for nothing.

Simple economic extrapolations mean that the school which can get people to work for nothing can make the course cheaper and will get a higher demand for it.
