Hello all - my name is Bill. I have been recently certified OW. I am heading to Bahia Honda State Park and am looking forward to a dive to Looe key From what I understand this is a good drive for beginners. I have some concerns that i'd like some guidance on.
I feel as though key elements were missed in my training such as; we never learned to do a proper buddy check (BWRAF), never learned finning techniques (flutter only). And really didn't spend any quality time on proper buoyancy and trim. This coupled with I just bought new gear BCD and regulator so I don't know what my proper weighting is (certified in fresh water). Any suggestions on whether I should try to go somewhere and figure this stuff out before going on a dive boat? Or do these dive boats cater to such green divers?
thank you in advance.
