Got certified in July 2011. Didn't dive for about 8 months after that, took a refresher course about 4 months ago, and have been shore diving La Jolla a lot in the past 3 months, almost every weekend. My buddy, who is a commercial diver and PADI certified wants to take me on a boat dive (<60') in the kelp beds, either La Jolla or Point Loma. This would be the first time I've dove with him, AND the first time I've dove off a boat. I'm paranoid by nature, and ULTRA safety conscious......Just wondering if you guys think this would be a good idea, or if I should take AOW or a "boat dive" class beforehand? I totally trust this guy, I'm just nervous about currents, etc....And my one stipulation would be that he MUST have someone onboard the boat while we are diving(who knows how to operate the boat)......Yay? Nay? Thanks in advance. I do have a light, whistle, SMB just in case.
