Some additional points to remember

(1) if you are lucky enough to have a DIVE SHOP that cares for your safety, then please listen to their warning signs about planning future dives that is outside your scope of abilities. I am lucky to have such luck. Example: 2011 "Peter, you need more dive experience before you venture out to Outer Banks, North Carolina, to dive 120 feet. You only have 10 dives. Maybe next year." And, they were right. Even today, with 150 dives, I continue to try to be careful about making dives within my scope of learning.

(2) if you are lucky enough to feel the need for safety before any DEEP DIVES, then my BET is you will be around to dive another day, no matter. And, for that "character" you possess, you can be my buddy. I would rather dive with a safety minded person than a thrill seeker.
