SMH (shaking my head)
DevonDiver
N/A
I dove the Blue Hole, Belize a few years ago. Other than the DM, I was the only experienced diver on the boat - everyone else seemed (from chatting) to have come straight off an OW course (<10 dives experience).
The grouped dropped over the edge and plummeted down to ~42m... swimming in near darkness, over an abyssal-like drop. DM was somewhere way off in front - I never saw him look around once... there was no way he'd be able to assist a diver in trouble. The novice divers were all over the place... some easily 8m below me (around 50m depth), most of them struggling with buoyancy.. verta-finning....
Was a lovely dive site, but I couldn't enjoy the dive for the over-riding concern that I had for my fellow divers.
