1. It is a new place and type of diving for me.
2. They would be able to guide me to the best areas.
3. If I am buddied up with someone else who is paying $$ and I got nervous and had to cut the dive short I would not be ruining someone else's dive.
4. If I did run into trouble I would be more prone to acknowledge I need to call the dive instead of being worried about my buddies dive being ruined.
I think thats a good choice. After 2 days on the wrecks with a personal dive guide you will likely be more advanced than most AOW divers. See above post where I edited my response.
