Indirect supervision?

[Bubble Junky]

What you describe does not sound legit to me.

I dove recentley at a resort where Discover Scuba divers were trained at a sister resort adjacent to the one I was staying at, and who after their initial dive went out with the DM from the resort I was staying at who was not an instructor.

Sounds legit to me. Subsequent dives can be led by DMs.

But an instructor must indirectly supervise those dives ("present at the site and in control of the activities"). That didn't sound like the case here.

Just get in the water, conduct the dive and you don't have to worry about what is direct supervision vs. what is indirect supervision.
