I'm just not wired like that way. I tend to stick to my training in most things, it has saved mine and other lives. In my mind, training becomes instinctual. It's hard to break from instincts for me.Just like anything, you just have to pay attention to your gauges and surroundings. I wouldn't smoke and dive under any rough conditions. Calm waters and currents are a must! We partied pretty heavy then, so the guy knew we were "professionals" with a lot of diving experience
