10.2% followed the guide /w/o even carrying along a set of tables in their BC pocket? /w/ out setting their watch? WTF!!!
Everytime i "follow" a guide in the tropics, i end up running my N-loading close to the yellow and that tends to piss me off. I shudder to think of what could (or does) happen to those who blindly follow the guide on deep air-sucking chases after mantas or whatever other stuff the guide is looking for.
It get so bad at some of these warm water destinations, that my buddy and i tend to not follow the guide after 2-3 dives. Sometimes it pisses off the operator but fuck 'em. Its my tissues, my safety!
