It is pretty low. I logged around 60 dives in 2 years. Granted I live in Florida just a few miles from the ocean. I’ve met people that lived in Nebraska who were avid divers and did their first ocean dives on the charter boat I was on but they had more dives under their belt and more certifications than I did.
I’ve dived about 5 times just by going to rental places and on guided tours.
It’s not hard to get numbers up. Besides to be certified (as in you can go diving yourself) you have to have done in certain number of hours not a certain number of sessions.
The fact he doesn’t claim to be certified, or working towards certification makes me think that perhaps he doesn’t actually know what he’s talking about.
I know nothing about the hobby but even reading that I was like ‘damn 21 sounds like a pretty low number’

I have done 12 dives in one day.

12 in a day isn’t really a thing, but 3 I’ve certainly seen/done.
Sounds like you know nothing about diving ::marseyeyeroll:;
