I am totally a 1, 2 week trip a year, vacation diver. Only 1 drysuit dive in a cold lake near home. Over 100 in Mexico.
But scuba has become far more of a hobby than just the actual dives.
By the second trip, I was noticing the tourist divers having issues descending, equalizing, contacting the reef, drifting far above the reef out of trim, Instabuddies oblivious underwater.
Thankfully I was buddied once with a conscientious diver that had a spare air.
It lead me to look for a better way for me.
It didn't take long to find SB. Now it's knowledge and not memory that I rely on.
All gear is tested before it's packed and no issues on the setup but I'm probably more of an enthusiast than most vacation divers.
I've still splashed with my gas off, my wing near empty, and my wing disconnected but never all at once. All non-events.
