Hi Josh, I maybe a AOW cert holder, but i aint no advanced diver. About the agency, i get the cert and training from them, but i get my experience from other sources.Like most people on this board say, it's the instructors not the agency I do take my safety very seriously, i dont dive deeper than planned. I m always at the tail end of the grp when i dive.I dive with a spareair and a dive alert. So what if i only have less than 50 dives,does that make me a lousy diver? i aint perfect , i m also a newbie to diving. It's circumstances that i cant get more dives in. Just because i'm young means that i m dangerous?
I saw your profile, and noted that you have dived in quarries and ponds...no offense here, but the water conditions that i have dived in is very much different to what you dived in. I have dived in waters that are barely visible with currents and in open ocean.This is not boasting but just the plain facts.
Hope you will know that not all young divers are dangerous.
