Making Recreational Divers "Better" by Dan Volker So what's wrong with recreational diving in its present form?Four main issues need to be addressed: - The dive gear marketplace is flooded with poorly designed gear that creates so much drag that movement through the water is slow and labor intensive.
- A real "fear" exists in handling out-of-air (OOA) emergencies.
- Most recreational divers, regardless of skill level, are poorly informed on which gear will be ideal for them as they progress in ability.
- Current dive instruction does not place enough emphasis on how to be a better "Buddy".
