Did I do something wrong?

[DaleC]

Sorry if I offend you, that was not my purpose.

Same here

 

[Dive the World]

You did nothing wrong at all! You followed the plan, took care of your buddy, and kept him safe. You did not enter the overhead, you turned the dive as agreed, and you both arrived back on shore with a good safety margin of air. What they did wrong was a great deal. They expected you to follow them into an overhead or so it seems. They expected you to stay with them beyond your buddies safety margin of air. They formed a view of the comfort level of a diver they were not personally guiding, buddied up with, or observing. You did the dive as a buddy pair. They wanted you to dive it as part of a herd. Screw em. They don't deserve to be called instructors.

Well said - plan the dive; dive the plan
