I have only heard horror stories about Sub-Aqua, including one from a couple in Cuenca who were actually just left out in the water for over 30 minutes drifting out with no pick up.

I think diving is an experience beyond comparison to much of anything else. Just did my 1000th in Honduras last week. It was even cooler than my 1st dive. Thanks for the tip about Macarron (He's with Sub-Aqua, right?) Lastly, slow is not always bad. A VERY experienced DM told me "If you move, you're a predator. If you stop, you become a curiosity." That advice has provided me with some real "National Geographic" moments. Glad to hear you FINALLY found a good DM and had a couple of good dives.
