Another point is picking a compatable buddy.
If you are sightseeing and trying to make friends with the sea life you don't want a spearfisher as a buddy.
People who want to swim are better with people who want to swim. People who stay in one spot for a whole dive are better together.
You can sucessfully buddy with someone who has a different style but will probably need to agree to dive one style on one dive and the other style on the next.
I learn as much diving with new divers as I do diving with old salts.
BTW I have only been diving for 25 years.
There is something to learn, something to enjoy and something wonderful in *every* dive. Enjoy every dive.
