Unfortunately, cestryker, it is all too common. :( Rather a black eye for the diving industry. Since you are relatively new, something I would highly recommend,... continue learning & improving your skills. Get with an excellent instructor &/ or mentor with superior skills. I make it a goal to learn something new on EVERY dive, whether it is just a simple dive on a reef, my local quarry, in a cave or on my rebreather,... I am always looking to learn new things. The day I quit learning,.... will be the day I hang up my fins for the last time (& I know superb divers with 5,000 + dives who are also still learning).
