Comments	I'm not sure how the operation would change for inexperienced divers. As a divemaster with 150 dives I was one of the least experienced divers of the 22 divers on the boat this week. The only diver with less experience was my son, with 60 dives. Divemasters did not have octopus regulators and would often lead 8-10 divers deep inside the ships. Made me uncomfortable, that many people and not a visible way out.
