Ok, almost all of my dives have been training dives. Actually, I have very few dives, but I have my Rescue Cert with PADI. I don't begrudge that, the school I went through was very thorough and added extra days onto both my AOW and my Rescue training. However, I am no where near as good of a diver as someone with an AOW who has 100 dives. I am very inexpereinced and now my focus will be on gaining expereince, rather than getting any more cards. Anyway, I woke up about 3AM this morning thinking about this card system. Strange I know. I cam eup with this:
Basic Open Water
Open Water (becomes Advanced after 30 dives)
Basic Rescue ( becomes Rescue after 40 dives)
The rest remains the same. I just think that there needs to be more emphasis on experience. When I got my AOW, I was hardly an advanced diver, and I still am not that.
