Ok so this might not be the place for this post but I want to here from people who have the experience that is represented within this section.
I have been diving open circuit for 10 years. The only certification I have is my Open Water Certificate. I have decided that I want to dive the wrecks of the world starting with my local wrecks (New Zealand) and then onto greater things like Truk, Bikini Atoll etc etc.
What I would like advice on is how people think I would be best to go about it. My plan at this stage is to use one of the local tech dive shops and progress through their training system and ending up with the CCR courses run by Pete Mesley here in NZ. Below is the order of courses I have so far that I plan on completing over the next three years.
- Advanced Open Water Course (including)
- Emergency Oxygen Provider Course
- Equipment Specialty
- Wreck Diver
- GUE Funamentals Part 1
- GUE Fundamentals Part 2
- TDI Advanced Nitrox/Decompression Procedures
- TDI Trimix
- TEC REC 40 CCR
- Advanced Wreck Diver Course (Pete Mesley)
- TEC 60 CCR (Pete Mesley)
- TEC 100 CCR (Pete Mesley)
I am also going to start swimming in the pool a few times a week and entering local open water swim races just to help with my breathing efficiency and improve the safety of my diving.
I would appreciate any input from people with experience and if there is anything you would add.
Thanks guys.
