Hi All,
I'd like your thoughts on the next step in my training.
I have completed enough dive on doubles to feel more than confident to do the PADI deep course. This has been recommended to me by my dive instructor as a good progression step to TDI deco and ADV Nitrox.
First my instructor is excellent, and a highly experience tech diver. Not just someone trying to milk me for money. He would spend a lot of extra time on theory and gas planning etc.
Without doubt the deep course would open up a lot of excellent dives in my area, and give me the opportunity to get more experience deeper than AOW.
However I can't help but wonder if it really is necessary. Especially if I prepare, do plenty of 30m dives, work on my drills etc.
Any thoughts?
