- hello and good afternoon (for all those in the Midwest hope you are staying warm and out of the snow,
A little back ground: I got my ow in fall of 2012, my aow,night,search&recovery, wreck,boat, and deep diver (still a little uneasy about a couple of them yet,the experience is definitely no there yet) in 2013. I am from the St Louis Mo area.
As you can see I have put my money towards classes so far not buying any of my own stuff so far (my instructor has been renting me stuff for class and fun dives). I know this year I would like to take a class on buoyancy control hoping that will also help control my air usage. I was thinking that by taking a few class first I (A) make sure I enjoy the sport (B) have the proper equipment that is needed.
Is there any class you would recommend ? the instructor that I have been dealing with said maybe dry-suit, just to add more time to our season and more options in the area to dive ?? His main recommendation was to log more time underwater this year.
While living here in middle of Missouri, I don't have lots of great places to dive without a good drive. That being said I was looking on your web site,and a few others under the classifieds for maybe used gear. Is this a safe idea? for a peace of mind I would have it all looked a Padi shop before I would use it. any thoughts on the about the above questions or any extra incite will be very much appreciated
Thank you for your time.
