I was on a liveaboard trip where I was surprised to see divers who thought of them selves as elite, better than average divers sucking on their ponies rather than quit smoking and improve their SAC numbers. What was worse was the crew wasn’t saying anything to them and refilling the tanks.

Another liveaboard I’ve used checked the tanks and would have ended their dives for the day coming back with all of your tanks on empty.

I don’t think it’s the training, we had a doctor in our club who we think had a death wish, first in, last out, never saw him on the wreck and he would always surface with little or no air.
