...I've been with 3 separate dive shops in Puerto Vallarta, 4 separate shops in Cozumel, two in Playa del Carmen...
9 different dive shops for 25 dives...man that kind of thrash makes me tired. Nothing wrong with doing a "one off" dive while traveling, but it's going to take a long time to gain the experience to slow things down at that rate. If you're really serious about "putting out the fire," schedule a dive trip somewhere you can dive with the same op for a week so you can get to know them and they you a bit. You'll settle into a routine and it will be a completely different experience. Once you gain some experience and set your routine then "one off" diving gets a lot easier as well. Good luck.
