I started diving back in the early '70s, was certified with PADI as OW in '76, and sort of lost interest in the mid to late '80s due to getting bored with muddy lakes I was diving in.
I recently started diving again and just finished my NAUI AOW and Nitrox(as a separate cert). The AOW class seemed to be material I covered back in '76 but served as a really good refresher, especially the nav stuff.
I am 58 and don't really see a good reason to go for a Master Diver certification, but the Rescue seems like it could be useful. If I do it I would take it next spring.
I only dive recreationally and have no desire to go pro. Is Rescue something I should do or just stay as AOW?
BTW my dive count for this board is a low estimate. We never used to log dives and only needed the cert card to get air refills.
