From Aqua_Nut_Angel: The assumption is everyone has been trained to a minimum standard (sounds scary) and that each diver dives within, not their limits, but they’re training.
"Minimum" being the scary part, try different dive buddies based on your comfort level. Find someone that has the same concern for safety as you! Also, go in groups if possible.
Last spring I dove with someone that was "more advanced" than myself. During the assent I was watching my computer to be sure of my rate, my buddy was on the surface when I was at 35 ft. When I mentioned this after the dive, he laughed and said "I never worry about that and I have never had a problem".
All I could think was, "Some day you will". This diver is working on Rescue Diver now.
