I actually learned a few years ago,.... A diver needs to dive with 3 different divers. As a beginner, you need to dive with another diver with superior skills, to learn the ropes & improve your skills. As a diver with some experience, you need to keep diving with superior divers, but also with divers of the same caliber, so you both can learn from each other. Lastly, as an experienced diver you need to dive with newer divers, mentor them & show them the ropes & your enthusiasm,.... I should go full circle. For me, it is important for me to pay it forward to the next generations of divers. That keeps our community intact.
