As part of the training, I learned different techniques of assisting Jason, getting him ready for the dives, entering the water and exiting of course as well. Having done hundreds of PADI introductory dives I was ready to be, there, control, buoyancy, assisting with propulsion, only to be blown away by Jason’s ability to leave me in the dust, swimming around having better buoyancy and trim than some of the Divemaster candidates who have joined some of my PADI IDC programs.
