"I'd like to note that you do something on your boats no one else does (that I like, that is). That is asking people to list number dives-trailing twelve months and lifetime. Anybody can BS this one, but what's the point? It reminds the divers that perhaps they're a bit rusty and puts the DM's on notice that they may need to pay extra attention to certain people/buddy teams."
I've been on several Reef Seekers Charters and they run a professional operation. A week ago to Clemente on the Encore I believe it was mentioned during the briefing that anyone wishing to have a Dive Master accompany them it would be arraigned also there was a very good effort made to get divers buddied up. I never heard that one before on a California dive boat and I like that idea about offering a DM to dive.
