I think it would be to his benefit and an aid to your peace of mind if he were to do the AOW course before going to Bonaire. He would then be better trained to follow dive briefings as well as what to do when things go poorly in the water.Gerry Rhoades:I should have mentioned that his first real experience will be a week in Bonaire in August
Are you going with him? First day of diving, make sure the DM knows how new he is, but then - be prepared to follow your training if ever the DM leads in a way that conflicts with training. They do a lot of beach dives there; are you two going to hire a DM for those, or try to dive safely without one?
I can see where more training would be a very worthy idea.
