of the ten divers that week, i counted 4 instructors, 3 divemasters, 1 rescue diver, 1 aow, and 1 ow. even the ow diver had over 100 dives. no, there was no predive to speak of. the captain said the reef runs this way, stay to the left or right. thats about it. people started peeling off the boat and going everywhere. even had one instructor, current dm go solo each dive which made for two solo divers. most everyone else had a buddy. i was stupid for not having my reel. live and learn. many constructive comments here and i appreciate. i do this for fun and of all the dives we did that week, it was the only dive the captain seemed concerned about. I think his attitude was influenced by the fact we had many multi thousand hour divers onboard and i guess he did not want to tell them they could not go. or something like that. anyway, i did feel peer pressure to go but we were in the san blas islands and this was a once in a lifetime dive. could have cost me my life though. many thanks to all for advice
