anybody who wants to try on a backplate, thats fine with me. i assume they are OW1 certified and that they have been diving since their class.
PADI teaches people to get training before they try something new. this is also a good way to Put Another Dollar In. but the main advantage is that you will have the benefit of an OSWI instructor or higher helping you ...
NOT SOME JOE OR SALLY DIVER WHOM YOU DONT KNOW FROM ADAM OR EVE on the internet.
now let me see, that is 4 facts, 1 assumption, 1 conclusion & recommendation, and 1 personal opinion. is that better???
