I am extraordinarily blessed in my choices of dive buddies - most all of whom have a wealth of experience and knowledge, love to dive, and love to share those experiences. I learn something new with every single dive whether they intend to teach me something or they don't. I learn just by watching and observing them and incorporate that into my own skill set.
Does this replace many of the certifications I've received? I do believe in those certs, but I like to think that my mentors are either an extending or augmenting the skills taught to me during my courses. I've yet to take a class (any class - diving or whatever), that teaches me everything, or that is really in depth enough to make one an expert. At that point, in steps a mentor.
