I wouldnt call someone with 24 dives a veteran 
I do get what you're saying however. With 0-24 you can't tell if the user is certified yet. Could help in answering questions if that info is known, and not everyone comes right out and says it. |
Frankly, the difference between someone with 0 dives and the someone with 1 dive is pretty negligible also. At 1 dive, you're not finished getting certified, and your skills certainly all that developed.
And honestly, how many people with 0 dives hang out on dive forums? If they're into it enough to be hanging out here, they're going to be getting certified soon enough.
May as well leave it as it is, IMO.
I do agree that someone with 24 dives or less is not exactly an old pro at diving.
