First, congratulations on getting out there and diving on your own without reliance on "dive professionals." The fact you knew to call the dive, and did so, shows you had good training and common sense. We all have called dives for any and all reasons. My little group of old fart dive buddies started being called "The Breakfast Club" by our wives because we called so many dives one year. All legitimate excuses - waves too big, visibility non-existent, don't feel right... (we still tease one buddy for his lame excuse for calling a dive. As we are sitting on our boat gearing up he says, Guys, I think I'm having a heart attack. Fine be that way. After heart surgery he was back in the water. )

Absolute classic!
