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.

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.
