Favorite class

Ok I know there is a lot of debate on which specialties is worth it ETC. But the question I have is during your classes for certs and specialties which one did you have the most fun in while diving open water

All of them, SSI, NAUI and PDIC through Instructor. As long as I'm wet, I'm happy.

Most fun? Trimix. Not because I'm a depth junkie, but because the dives were superb (some of the best I'd ever done, class or otherwise).

So far to date, my favorite has been cavern. I actually became very clam & peaceful when we had to wear blacked out masks. My other senses took over & became very acute. Very cool feeling.

I have enjoyed all my in water course work to date.....I like the Rescue program as much as any.....also my most challenging was my Adv. Trimix program....it by far was the toughest. My DM course was ok....just took awhile to complete.

I really enjoyed the instructor class but before that, I loved the underwater navigation and mapping class I took for MSD. It was a lot of fun doing different patterns underwater. I really liked taking the notes underwater and then converting them to detailed maps back on land. Really cool!

The rescue class was my fav so far.

 

[almitywife]

yep, Rescue would have been my fav

it was hard work but so well worth it! the type of course i would be happy to redo every few years

I have to agree that the Rescue Diver is the most rewarding. Yes, it was challenging and at times even scary (what a wuss ), but it taught me a lot about myself and things to look for in my diving as well as the 'looking after others' aspect. Rescue Diver has to be the most useful class out there.

There is talk here (Dubai) of offering quarterly Rescue updates, and once per year will actually involve the emergency services (including helicopter evacuation), making the scenarios very real. The coastguard are very keen to do this - they need training too after all. I will certainly be interested in taking part. It might be worth you instructors in other areas contacting local coastguard people to see if they would also be amenable to this.

Before Rescue, I got a lot out of Peak Precision Buoyancy. For the first time, I actually got the hang of hovering.

Hhhhhmmmmmm, well I loved the reading and tests in my DM class, but my favorite was the Rescue Class during the search and rescue with the beach entry and exit with high waves.
