am i a bad *****

I was just wondering, is it's very bad to go past 60 ft by a few feet?

The dive plan is normally made to incorperate a bit deeper than 60ft if it is required...

I would think you should abide by what your instructor and your Dad say, there is no magic number. Often deeper is colder.:blinking:

Well, a divemaster buddy of mine is taking me diving tomorrow on my 5th and 6th dives ever, and there's a wreck he wants me to see that starts at about 85-90. He says we'll just take it slow and keep an eye on air and see how deep we get. We were at about 64 on my final OW class dive and I felt just fine. I may change my mind and just decide to stay shallower, which would probably be the prudent thing.

Dan, you are 14 years old. Do what your parents say in conjuction with your instructor and any divemaster you are with. Don't listen to the goofy people here. We are only cyber-divers.

Yes it does. Your parents are responsible for you. You should be making diving decisions on the advice and consent of your parents, not from us.

there aren't any PADI police

Only b/c PADI hasn't found a way to make money off it yet

I saw someone post somewhere in SB that the max limit to any dive you go on is the bottom. Whether you come up afterwards depends on your skills...

D.

As a parent, I absolutely agree. Your parents know you better than any of us. They probably also love you a good deal more.

Involve them in your diving decisions, please.

Don't do it! Without following the secret AOW procedures your head will explode!
