msedivingdoc:Allright, things became even worse.... evaluate her most recient post
SHE did not know that a dive below 60ft is out of her training!! This is really the type of pattern you see in new divers. I assume because you posted here you can read. This is what all of those new to SCUBA need to do, READ! Your instructor will not tell you everything, but if you read the books will tell a novice diver how far they should go like 20 times.
Also, how do you limit air use??? I hope he didn't mean to hold your breath! Just breath, when you run out of air, yoou run out of air. Probally every dive I've ever been on I run out of "air time" before I reach any other limit. That thing on your back will run out sometime, so quit conserving it. Just dive....leave conservation to latter instruction.
Finally you didn't know the depth of the dive???!!! This just makes me look at you as a diver and affirm your fears... If you get in the water you are going to die!!!
Now to be nice...take this as a lesson like I did. Read everything you have again and make notes like it is a college class you must pass. Find an instructor to take you through another class that will benifit you, not AOW yet. Dive shallow several times and in pools. Be familar with your gear...rental or own. Practice all those OW skills till you're sick...do it in your head at the office. Now after all this you can return to the ocean and dive and not die. Good Luck
Do you really think you are helping anyone with this brand of sarcasm and smartass remarks? I really don't get this self righteous mentality. Maybe you don't mean to come off this way, but theres no denying that you have. I think if you shared your knowledge in a more constructive, less judgmental way it would be better received. No one likes being talked to like they are an idiot when they are simply asking for help...............
