    recommendations for places with good dive masters

    Hi All,
    I am looking for places to dive where you have had good experience with a dive master. I dive solo and would like to know that someone is looking out for me.
    Thanks for the advice
    Tracey

    I'm sorry...I don't get it. You're solo, but you want a lookout?

    The sacasim in this little group of yours is so unappealing. CLearly I needed to more more specific for some of you. Thankful there is at least one reasonable person out there that resonded appropriately. Thanks Jim for the great recommendation. The rest of you need to get a life.

    Lots of places have good Divemasters who will be glad to help if you let them know your concerns. I'm most familiar with Divi Tiara in Cayman Brac, where you can either wander off with your buddy, or join in a group that dives with the DM. They'll buddy you up with someone else who wants to dive with the group. I sometimes tag along with them too, because the DMs are often great at finding neat stuff. If you want to buddy with the DM, they'll probably do their best to accomodate you, (but be sure to tip well). However, remember of course that the DM has multiple responsibilities.
    Happy bubbles.

    To err is inevitable.
