Definitely! We just went to the Philippines recently for Tubbataha and Malapasque! There is still a lot more to see, so we'll definitely be making our way back at some point!
Ah yes, the occasional dive buddy. You can find a group meet up, club, or more consistent dive buddy to go more regularly and be safer about it. Also, I do believe a dive team doesn't need to have pairs so when your daughter can join 3 is okay as long as everyone treats everyone apart of the dive team. This has worked for a similar situation to a friend of mine also with an occasional dive buddy daughter haha.
Good video. I dive at gilboa quarry in ohio mostly. They have a fb page. One lds has a very active dive club. They get about 10-20 people at the meetings so far. I just found out about another club at another lds. However it's fb page isn't as active. Clearly the quality of clubs/pages are dependent on the quality of leaders and members. Some clubs are all about trips. I don't fit into these as I can't go on most trips and can't afford them. As a new diver its a bit intimidating to go to these groups but they can also be helpful.
It's good to be a part of both, but the local one is where you can get more regular experience and grow, so it's good to be a part of some community as I've found too. There is always a lot to learn, and with svmcuba diving, it's easier to learn from others. As someone who also does skiing, hiking, and mountaineering. Something about the people and community of scuba diving has always left a big impression on me in comparison to others. Of course, it does require good leadership, as you mentioned, so I am sure there are some bad communities out there too.
@MysticalDragon73 100 is a good go to for single tank dives. 117 would be good for a bit more extended air while your learning, but I bet your air consumption will reduce with a bit more time and practice. It can take some pressure off in the meantime!
@@itravelwisely thanks. I'm likely to go with the 100 especially since it's the same diameter as the 80s in case I'm using more than just my tank On my ow cert dive i finished 500-800psi lower than others. I was in my drysuit too. So will see after I get more dives in.

True, I don't have a dive buddy, even though my daughter is certified, but she's a teenager and has other interests😂

In fact at a cmub meeting when talking about tanks and the experience on my last dive, they suggested for me to get a 100 or 117
