Hi all,
thanks a lot for your feedback. It's all very welcomed. I won't answer every question specifically as some have already been answered by other people.
I will try to pay more attention to my grammar & spelling (I am not a native english speaker but that's no excuse). Yes, some of the advice is very debatable and you've provided good counterpoints both here and in the comments. I was trying to put together a set of the advice I would give to a new diver. None of it is absolute truth and some of it is up for debate. I didn't mean to single out PADI, it's the one recreational agency that I know. As for the photo, it's me on my first dive ever, I could have put a photo of an experienced diver with great trim & buoyancy, I went for the opposite. (And Colliam7, you're dead on!)
Make sure you check the other articles in there, we're trying to write about many aspects of the sport. Feel free to send me articles for contribution as well.
