Lorenzoid Ive taken the padi deep diving course many years back and I enjoyed it. At this point all you want to do is recreational deep dives. I think the course will benefit you with your diving.
By doing the padi deep diving course you will not need to get all the extra equipment for the tech class and you will get to work with the instructor most likely one on one for the course. By taking the course it may bring up some things from the deep dive during your AOW course and add some knowledge you dont have at this point.
North Carolina would be the best choice for the course.
The Divemaster course and certification does not require the deep diving specialty certification.
