There is no single factor that I would use to judge a diver. Until you dive with them you just don't know. Number of dives can be just as off as dive time. How much time adds up on a 20-30 foot reef? And how much do you learn on that dive? Then again your time on a 80-100 foot dive would be much less but you may learn more. You also have to consider the time span between dives and since first starting. IMO you just need to get to know people and dive with them.
