May I add safety and enforcement of proper dive procedures.

The divemaster who talks a lot about what he has done, where he has dived, the shark that he held under his arms, the current that he swam in for 5 kms, the 200 foot dive he made on a pony bottle is the divemaster that will show of his skills to you and will probably get you bent.

But if you think your skilled enough to not need a DM that is ok and good but I also suggest that you take stock of the people your diving with and what they are capable of. My friend who had an accident in Dumaguete was just a rescue diver and a lot of people blamed him of his buddy's death because he was the more experience of the two.

Nice one dre.

It's over now, go take a look at the last flurry...

Good commentary, Jai. That's where I draw the line between dive guide and dive master. The dive guide is there to show you around, the dive master is in charge of your dive experience. I think everyone would get a better experience if they accepted their level of comfort but unfortunately, many don't, feeling they're letting someone else down if they don't live up to someone else's expectations.
