It really depends on the day, and it's true that it take a people person, not a good diver to be a DM...yes, you have to be agood diver..you know what I mean.
Sometimes I see student that I can't figure out how they even made it to the store w/o serious bodily harm comming to them-literaly some of the dumbest people I've ever met. THEN I run into students that (like said above) I can see the light go on. I know the moment it does for them. Their eyes get big and light up, they get these HUGE grins, etc., and I just think "Yeah, we got a diver here". Those are the ones that I file away so that when it starts to suck really bad, I can remember "this is why I want to do this"
Now, is it making me a better diver? I think so. I have all the skills down pat now and I feel much more comfortable leading a dive.
