True, if I learn from someone with a high knowledge, let's say level 10, my knowledge would have a huge benefit, so I would start with the knowledge of level 9 or 10, while if I get a teached by a new instructor I may keep the same level, or maybe less, because my knowledge was already higher.
So why not learn from them best, I know risk can be dangerous, but the best Instructor I had until now, knew how much risk isn't dangerous, so he let me do, then he say what I should do better next time, I guess this is the right way to teach. Give the student time to fix it by himself, let him maybe struggle a little bit.
Of course not too much, this wouldn't be fair.
Where I benefit from letting me struggle:
BCD: I tried left arm first, which was stupid.
Boat: first BCD then fins, very stupid.
But he let me do, he smiled a bit, because he knew it wouldn't work.
May I'm wrong, but if I were Instructor I would let them do for a while, as long it's not dangerous.

Thanks for your comments Ben. If an instructor can teach the right way, right from the beginning and insist on building muscle memory during training then likely a diver will continue to use that methodology after training.
If you teach to a 4-5 level, with (evaluations 1-5 with 1= fail, 2= needs improvement,
3= adequate, 4= good and 5= excellent) then if a diver slips a little to a 3-4 they are doing pretty good.
Here at our IDC we push for straight 5's if at all possible.
Thanks

Dive masters at the recreational level are absolute garbage. They have no idea how to maintain good buoyancy, cannot helicopter turn or backfin, and cannot dive anything other than a single tank. To those that actually want to become better divers, look into GUE Fundies and some form of Advanced Nitrox/Decompression Procedures. As a cave diver, the training needed to be a dive master is sub par and I feel unsafe around them.
