I would think doing your training dives with an instructor would be not only the smartest thing to do but the safest. I know you could go on dives not rated for the beginner diver but that doesn’t mean you can handle any circumstances that may occur. An instructor that’s there to inform you can enlighten you to all the possible hazards of a particular dive and can do them with you under a more controlled atmosphere. Don’t take a shortcut in your training. You may not only put yourself in danger but other divers that are with you.
