I went as far as Master Diver in SSI.....I took my time because I only had about 27 dives when I started.
I didn't realize that could be done. We've only talked about doing the AI program. But, first I want a good six months of diving and DM practice before I move forward. I'm still not in any hurry.Congrats!I think you should go straight to instructor next. The whole assistant instructor thing isn't worth the step in my view. Its better to just take the IDC and get it out of the way, then you're free to do whatever you want from there on.
Congratulations!

Congratulations! You should change your title under your username.
I think I would have left that part out...
Good for you. Now you should read a recent article in scubadiverlife.com titled "Good Divemaster, Bad Divemaster." Really well written.

Why? I was a Rescue Diver when I started and diving way above what someone typically would be with 27 dives. I met my future instructor who was working as a guide for one of the divers on the boat that day. I didn't have a buddy, so he had me dive with them. He was assessing my diving and at the end of the day suggested I do the DM program with him.
OK I know I'm cheap, but I don't care, it's not my livelihood.
