An "update":
1. The obligation to make the "20 first dives" (after AOW) seems to be only a "pilot". The goal is to restrict all divers to guided dives only. I think the basic assumption that a diver that finished his AOW course is not responsible enough to rent gear and go diving without a "nanny" guide is corrupted...
2. After last year's fatal accident in the "Sufa" wreck (21-26meters) the diving authorities restricted ALL types of dives to 42 meters, regardless of certification type. For this matter, technical divers, tri-mix divers, DM, instructors (even if they are paid!) are restricted by LAW to 42 meters. There is no place for "healthy logic".
Spearfishing is outlawed anyway...
