| Check out dives are an absolute must, a lesson I have learnt far too many times. At the end I will provide an honest critique. If I feel my buddy is a danger to himself and all those that buddy him I will diplomatically inform him of such.
The DO can allow a crossover to dive past his BSAC limits if there is evidence of experience established in the depth range. The AOW asking to be allowed to dive to 30m who does not have a log book or one that only shows 15m dives, is going to get a short answer. If they can't accept that our concern is both for their safety and that of their potential buddies, well perhaps they should question why they joined a dive club where the DO assumes responsibility whether we like it or not. |
