DD if you actually take the time to read post #86 you'll see that my thought on advanced was actually about recognizing increased risks in dive profiles and knowing your own limitations. Which I stated in my case began as I prepared for DM. It really is a time (or was a time before PADI changed the standards for DM) when divers are learning theory and application of it. Knowing ones own limitations is by it's very nature a check of the ego. As you put it..."It's all relative to the dives done"
As for ego I'm well aware of my limits and accomplishments I happen to have a number of significantly more accomplished divers I call friends and I can trust to help me expand my abilities if/when I am ready to progress. As someone who has read scubaboard for a number of years I'm also familiar with your ego. As far as I'm concerned you can check it at the door. I didn't ask for your comment on my reply to the OP and I don't need your snide remarks concerning your obvious low regard for DMs and/or OWSI.
So maybe as we progress we will have a lot more to learn. As I implied maybe what you recall when you were at that level was your shortcomings. Either way it wasn't appropriate for you to comment on. I guess the only excuse is you are just a legend in your own mind.
To the others reading this thread sorry for the hijack. You'd think someone on SB's Staff would be better mannered.
