Just exactly what is the difference? Better yet, how do you perceive the differences?
Im not interested in getting into a debate on the merits of any one diving style or gear selection so please lets not get into any squabbles over DIR/GUE, long hoses or split fins. Lets just discuss how you see yourself and what additional training plans you may have are.
Me, Im purely a recreational diver. While I do use a modified backplate/harness/wing BC, dive mostly dry and use Nitrox from time to time, I dont consider myself anything more than an avid recreational diver.
I have no plans for pursuing any cave or wreck (penetration) diving nor do I have any desire to go below 130. I shoot video when I dive, have fun and just enjoy being underwater. Im not going to criticize or even comment on your choice of gear as long as you know how to dive in it. I dont care if you are the coolest or silliest looking diver as long as your skills in the water are up to scratch.
I may take some additional courses (if my wife really wants to) but its not high on my list of must dos.
Im all about having a great time and enjoying diving and sharing that same joy with others.
