Greetings all,
I was just wondering what you would expect out of a divemaster for a technical diving charter. I've been asked to do this next season, but I'm not exactly sure what the role would be. I know from experience that I sure don't like to be babysat when I'm on vacation, and I'm pretty sure other technically oriented divers don't either. I've come up with a few things like a deck hand and "tour guide" for the wrecks.
I've thought about ridding the "dive master" name all together (so not to insult anyone, of course ) and perhaps be referred to as the support/safety diver. Maybe I would sling an extra bottom mix bottle and a 50/50 or O2 bottle to allow for any problems that might occur.
Another problem I have thought about is there are some guys who might want to do extrodinary bottom times that I'm not too interested in doing. I would think that it would be acceptable to leave the bottom when my buddy and myself were ready, and then just wait for them at the deco depths. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Mike
