I do not consider myself to be an advanced diver since I only get to dive 3 weeks of the year. Every dive I strive to do better (buoyancy or air consumption or just being a better buddy). I always ask the dive masters after my 1st dive "what could I do better?" On my last trip (1 week ago) when I ask this I got a very strange look from the dive master who said "you are really good divers" almost like he was shocked at my question. Doesn't every one ask this? I figure when I stop learning it is time for me to stop. The ocean is my love but I respect her totally, it is a hostile environment that we must never take for granted, we are just visiting. Am I the odd man out? Bill
