You know, if you had asked me before the dive, whether I thought I was ready/capable of doing an exploration dive, I would probably have said no. But as it turned out, it was well within both my capacity and my comfort zone. Only the last restriction gave me a bit of pause, but we had been doing tighter stuff this trip than I had done before, so I had some recent experience with it.
I'm not sure what further training would have made it any more reasonable, or any safer, honestly. Experience was much more important.
there just isn't a class for exploration. you have to just do it and experience it for yourself, as you found out
