It does seem like a lot of groups are meeting right now. I have found a few awesome mentors and it took a lot of work to find them. In my opinion (trigger warning), some of the more 'experienced' divers do not want to show new divers the ropes. I have another friend that stated, "I feel like they want to keep you out of the sport." It's not always the case with those divers, but it is hard to access them. I'm not that experienced at all, but am open to share what I know and get you plugged into meeting some amazing divers. Feel free to DM me and let's shoot some fish.
