Sean C:Thanks for the clarification. I'm in total agreement. While I employ the use of a guide,etc. on all my current dives, we try to ensure that we are participating not just following the leader. In fact, on our last two dives in that warm clear water that we do not have up here, our guide was navigationally challenged and it was my wife and I that pointed to where the boat was. Admittedly, we did allow him to surface and get a bearing, but we were well under control and could complete the dive at anytime without assistance.
A guide who gets lost:lol:
