i think people doing the OW dont really think about tech things like this and there isnt enough time for this type of information, its only 3 / 4 days to do the OW so you dont really expect to know everything. The person who liked it and knows the basic etc will continue asking and getting information from more experienced divers. All the things i learnt were basically from me searching, reading, etc. It depends on how much you are into diving.
im obviously not prepared to dive on my own and my buddy and will be a long time before i can actually be more independent and not rely so much on the DM

i havent planned any dive with my buddy yet and im not doing it either in following dives ... like i said, i only have the OW two months ago so right now, im relying on the DM who will come with me and my buddy in the next dives and start learning how to do everything on my own =)

So you have zero concept of what your NDLs are, no PDC and just dive until you run low on air then come up? PLEASE, PLEASE read the links provided. If you don't understand them, find someone to help you learn because it is essential information. Please also spend some time looking online for how to plan a dive, how to use dive tables, and download a set of air diving tables.
Just randomly swimming around underwater is going to get you or a buddy hurt.
