Hi
I was taught and certified in the ocean doing shore dives. I did learn/practice the proper entries etc. I had to climb out myself in full gear occasionally given a hand as the rocks were sharp.
Going away and booked boat dives. This may sound stupid but getting off a boat won't be a problem but climbing the ladder back in to a rocking boat with all my gear on might be difficult for me. I have been on/off boats for snorkelling but the weight of snorkel, mask, fins don't come close to complete scuba gear. I don't know what to expect so it makes me a bit nervous. Will people get ticked off if I need a hand? Don't want to be "the one".
Thanks in advance
