So hopefully when I get to Seattle in another couple months I can do a ton of diving over the next four months. I like to do a mixture of courses and diving without an instructor to both learn new skills and improve existing ones.
I'm trying to think what courses I should do in this time, and one question I haven't seen discussed a ton (as opposed to the "when to do AOW" question) is at what point do you feel Rescue Course should be done? I've seen some random opinions such as that it's really just the third part of Open Water training and should be done right away, and I've also hear it's an incredibly tough course (why is it so tough anyways?) I realize there are probably no firm answers, but I'd like to see some opinions.
Based on this I can figure out where to fit Rescue in among specialty training.
