After 12 years I still am fairly slow and methodical. There are a lot of things to do--in the correct order--even if you have done it over 700 times. I occasionally will forget something if talking with someone while gearing up. I've started a walk down the beach and had to embarrasingly ask someone to turn on my air a half dozen times--mostly during my first 100 dives or so. Am extremely careful of that on a boat, needless to say.
