Yes. I have worked professionally in recreational diving as a certified divemaster, and have logged hundreds of dives. I don’t even mean to put down the person in the article - I truly believe someone can be an avid diver even after their first dive. The way the entire sentence was worded made it sound pretty funny though, as if they were trying to impress with experience. At 21 dives, you’re likely the one the divemaster is going to stick close to, and there’s lots of things they’re not going to take you close to.
Yeah and they’re probably just a vacation diver if they’re serious about diving in different oceans. Diving with a different set of equipment each time means you never get used to trimming out. Half the people on charters don’t even know how much weight to take.

For real. If I dive somewhere new and my assigned buddy gives me the “avid diver with 21 dives”, I’m going to assume he’s a fucking idiot.
