This will probably open a can of worms but... Last week I did a few days work for the Dive shop I previously worked for. Did a couple of DSDs and guided a few groups of certified divers a couple of whom were Avanced Open water. Well both the Skipper of the boat and I reached the conclussion that one of these groups were the worst we'd seen.
Lack of basic skills like finning to move (seriously). Poor or zero buoyancy control, some looked like they'd never had their heads underwater. All were from different countrys but all seemed afflictedby the same lack of finesse. By the end of the day we'd got them all a dive but man was it hard.
