Bad divers come in every flavor. I’ve been pinned to the bottom by divers that decided to follow me to see what I could find. I’ve seen DM’s & instructors with skills (lack thereof) that I would not pass in my basic OW courses. I’ve seen cave divers carelessly scootering, banging into everything, kneeling in the mud & silt, not properly running their reels, causing entanglement dangers for others. Am I a perfect diver? Heck no, I’ll admit, I’ve made mistakes, bad decisions & perhaps caused some harm,.... but I do try to learn from it & if confronted about something I have done, I am willing to look at the situation & do what is necessary to correct my ways to lessen my impact. In order to correct a problem, a diver needs to admit that there is a problem to begin with.
