Hi all,
A bit of background. I'm starting my DM course. It's not an internship, and will be done on some weekends spread over months.
My personal gear is all DIR "compliant". In fact so is the dive center's, other than adjustable harnesses in their rental backplates given the task of fitting guests on their boats. This is all warm water.
The agency is RAID and everything including equipment exchange is done in proper trim and buoyancy (ie never any kneeling).
Ideally, I'd have done a fundies course first, but logistics don't permit at this time.
My goal is to get more comfortable in the water, though I'm very comfortable as of now. Don't have any near term plans on working in the dive industry, but I don't write that off completely.
My question for those who have gone through DM courses is if there is anything you would have done differently/ asked if you were to go through it again? Just want to get the most out of this experience.
Thank you!
