                            From Granitehawk: 
  . . . We were told not to pressure any one to dive and as As a Dive master I have worked with some people who had to abort the dive for various reasons.
  Some of the reasons: Equilization trouble; Panic; Unsure of suroundings; Intimidated by drop off to deeper water on one side or the other; Imtimidated by aquatic life. . . .
 
  
  I wish all DMs were taught that way. What do you need, 50 dives to be a DM? A lot of the DMs I run into with 50 dives or so think they know more than I do about what’s right for me just because I’m not a DM, even though I have 150 dives, and counting. 
  Even when I was a newbie, it was the DMs who put me at risk of DCI because they didn’t have the patience to wait for me to adjust to my conditions. [I better stop here before I start ranting.:
