Agreed. One of my first dives in Mexico, we were rushed to get our gear together, and I didn't have a chance to get my bc wet before strapping my tank on, and about 10 minutes into the dive at about 40 feet (on the bottom thankfully), my tank came loose. I was able to stay calm and have the dive master help me get it strapped back in without having to remove my gear, but it pays to always take your time in getting ready.

Unfortunately, I didn't have an experienced buddy, as my wife was only resort certified. That was also a mistake.

Live (thankfully) and learn.
