Hi...
I am a Dm in Training! I have been training for the past few months...
Finished all the exams, just have few problems with the Stamina test!
So mean while I practice for my stamina, and help as a DM with few LDSs...
So far all my dives were with Instructors and high level divers...
but on my last DM help, I was faced with a problem whn the dive center didnt check the qualification of the divers i am guiding and all six of them were Open water divers. where two of them were fresh out of O/W course.
Here are the few I made mistake:
- I didnt check with the qualification of the divers before the boat moved.
- I chose a dive site where its a bit challenging for an O/W
- Did a really quick dive briefing to try to get in the water fast, since i was feeling Hot & were in a bad mood in the morning just wanted to get in the water.
- Geared up and then went to help the other divers.
Lucky for me one of my friends were there and he is an instructor so he came into action and helped me out,,, and we changed dive site.
Later in the day we had a talk on the things I did wrong...
but ever since then my motivation dropped and cant really get myself up (Slapped myself few times to wake up )
Did few briefing practice by myself, but now cant get the courage to give it in the boat afraid that i might fail again!!!
Lessons that I learnt from this!!!
- Never assume that all divers are great (even though i read this forum every day but I didnt convince my self that there are bad divers)
- Never depend on the LDS to check on the Qualifications, check for yourself.
- Gear up last! even if you are really fast at getting ready.

Well i need some suggestions to get me self standing again!!!
what do you guys do when you feel down!!!
I go solo diving, helps ease my mind but I am Fasting (Ramadan for me) so I cant go diving during this month.
