What is a Dive Master on a charter boat to you ? I am curious that a lot of your answers will depends on your comfort zone and experience with scuba...So not to be persuaded one way or the other.. I have left the answer choices mixed by the roll of dice .. I am not answering my own survey.. Though my opinion is not in any extreme..If you are a Dive professional I am fairly sure that your answer may be the extreme..
