I agree that the proper attitude makes the diver.
The attitude to improve ones skills and have appropriate equipment to partake in the activity.
The attitude to determine that the activity will be safe based on ability.
The attitude to stop if uncomfortable with the activity.
Equipment is what we wear just like dress pants or blue jeans.
Training provides us with documentation that I have met the minimum standard of what is considered that level.
Neither equipment or training makes a good diver. They only provide us the opportunity to get better by participating with an attitude to improve and become better.
