    well... tot should bring back some positives to the diving industry and try to show some nice pics to hopefully ... well... bring back some enthusiasm?

    Didnt have much time to take pics underwater this trip, and most of the pics are taken of openwater students having a ball at their 1st underwater experience.

    Pulau Au Diving Accident

    I'll 2nd that. Dont understand how people can still side the instructor when it is a fact that the students were left on the surface and had to descend by themselves on their 2nd dive??!!

    what if they cant equalise?

    wwhat if they are not properly weighted?

    what if they cant descend?

    what if they are pushed away from the descend line by current?

    There are too many accidents waiting to happen when new divers are not closely guided and under the watchfull eye of the instructor or the DMs. Briefing is very important, but having a thorough briefing doesnt mean that divers wont panick underwater and do something dangerous.

    If having students to descend without a DM or instructor by their side is standard practice, then i will have to say that its not the instructor at fault, but the dive operator who have such loose SOPs.

    An urgent review of standard/required practices must be implemented.
