Not sure why you would say this as it is not true. Most ops will make sure you can handle the deep dive. If you want under 60fsw then they will do that.
<A few ops like Dive Palancar do 4 single tank dives a day which would allow you to just do the shallow (20 to 60 ft) dives.>
Not sure how you do your diving pal but this is an erroneous statement also as far as having to stay shallow. Also nearly every op can take you out in the afternoon if you want.
<Or you could hire your own DM and stay on the shallow side of the reefs until you are ready for deeper dives.>
Doing an AOW would certainly be a good idea if you want to go deeper.
<Make sure you work this out with you dive op so you or others on the boat will not be disappointed. |

I'm pretty sure most ops do ask these questions about your skill level. Also on the boat trip to the site the dms generally do a dive profile with everyone to make sure all is good. kev
