It is one thing to put your trust in someone but it is another to blindly trust someone. Too often divers do minimal or no research concerning a dive site or a dive operation. You can learn a lot by observing a dive leader or a DM. Sometimes you learn more about someone by the questions they ask than the answers they give. The easy manner in which a DM learns about the divers before a dive tells you a great deal about the DM's abilities. How the DM interacts with the divers and the questions the DM ask. Did the pre-dive orientation cover more than points of interest? This is especially true when the dive involves more risk, such as overhead, wrecks or current. The bottom line is every dive involves risk and every diver beyond OPW is responsible for themselves and most dives involve some level of trust. The primary consideration becomes the level of trust you are giving someone and how well founded is that trust.
