- Concerning the discussion about folks that want to learn how to scuba dive:
-
- #Can't sit still on this one.....I agree with Alan. It's more important that
- #you find a good instructor with whom you feel comfortable. That's the key !!
-
- This is good for experienced divers. But what about beginners? My inference
- being that only an experienced diver is able to assess a *good instructor*.
-
- I asked this question before on the net and didn't get much of a reply:
- How does someone that wants to learn to dive determine a *good instructor*?
-
- Personally, I place a lot of weight on the instructor's affiliation with
- a dive store, and that dive store's reputation. If the dive store is in
- any way questionable, I write-off the instructor as exhibiting poor judgement
- by being affiliated with that store. Free-lance instructors, on the other
- hand, are much more difficult to assess, but have a greater potential.
