So, to date I have a little over 200 dives (warm water, cold water, clear vis, low vis, ocean/springs/quarry, wetsuit and drysuit) and the following certs done:
OW, AOW, nitrox, rescue, drysuit, deep, self-reliant and cavern. I did my cavern cert through Adventure Outfitters (PADI cert) in Tampa last year and haven't done any real overhead diving since then. I've done the classroom portion of my TEC 40 class so far and waiting to reschedule my dives for that class (had to postpone due to work). I live outside Atlanta and have some vacation in February (a week off) and am considering flying down to Mexico to continue moving towards full-cave cert. I get off work Friday afternoon and have to be back at work 10 days later on Monday morning (so definitely no diving after Saturday afternoon).
I really loved diving the cenotes in Mexico, and I don't have much interest in diving "tight passages" in caves (but I realize that the skills are probably necessary for the cert anyway) or fighting strong currents, and hence am considering doing the training down in PDC or Tulum. If you were in my shoes and getting ready to continue, what would you be doing knowing what you know already (though I'm not interested in GUE for personal reasons).
