What would you consider your level to be?

Jepuskar bubbled:"Mike, you sure your not a beginner? j/k"

I don't know if I'm a beginner or not,
but I know I'm constantly learning.

I believe this to be a good thing.
Because I think as soon as you stop learning,
you start dying.

Have fun, enjoy your course.
Dive Safe.

If it's not diving, it's just not happening.

I have been doing mucho amounts of research on diving and it is obvious that learning should never stop. Sometimes I think I get ahead of myself, because I do not even have 1 logged open water dive yet and I know education takes you only soo far, but hands on experience means the world. I'm eager to start diving, but gotta get that C card first.

Well, having seen some of the comments and experiance listed by those who still class themselves as newbies I would definatly come about 6 stages below you! I clicked newbie as it is the lowest
I have not done an OW dive yet, and have not even pool dived for a number of years, but i do try and read alot of the technical stuff about diving, I spent a few hours yesturday reading about rebreathers and such.. I am still far from even newbie standards (I think), but I guess it depends how you class it.

I would say someones a newbie until they take a true ow dive, thats when things start getting serious and less like training (even though it is likley to be training) from that point on I would call you a beginner

ofcourse thats just IMHO

With less than 20 dives I have to think I'm still a newbie.
