The upcoming dives are “Trust Me Dives”
All dives are trust me dives. I am going to Maldives in November to do shark diving with a buddy.
My dive buddy is a Padi instructor and also TDI ANDP certified.
I am Padi Rescure but BSCA sports diver so we are both trained deco and nitrox divers.
We've done over a few hundred dives together including fast current dives in South Lombok. You want to really trust your buddy on those dives as you can easily be separated and the vis at times can be down to a few meters.
Most dives are just NDL dives but sometimes we might do some unplanned light back gas deco on an AL 80.
I also do vacation dives with divers who just have OW and 10 dives.
I trust they know nothing about gas management or how they would rescue me if I had an issue. Many don't own a DC and if they rent one don't really know how it works they just see the numbers and are told not to exceed NDL.
Mostly these dives don't exceed 25m depth.
