Hi there,
As some might know by now I'm a novice diver who's busy getting my AOWC from SSI, the specialties I do are Deep Diving, Underwater Navigation, Peak Buoyancy Control and Nitrox. Besides the courses I've been diving every weekend since I got my Padi Open Water. I like diving but I like learning to and having the feeling of developing and improving my skills so I'm already trying to figure out what learning path I'm willing to take.
About mid November I'm heading to South East Asia to dive. I'm starting in Indonesia but also wanna visit some nearby countries to dive (don't know exact which ones).
After my AOWC I wanna do some other specialties too, but there're so much specialties I'm interested in I find it rather hard to decide in which order I wanna do them. Some nice specialties: Drift, Night, Search and Recovery, Wreck, Cave and some others I like a little bit less than the one said: Boat, Digital UW Imaging, Self Reliant Diver. But I also find the Stress & Resque -> Master Diver path apealing.
Are there some specialties or courses you guys really like or think that's something a fairly novice diver should do first or maybe the opposite like this and that specialty is something you might want to wait a little bit with till you're a little bit more experienced?
Lets say for instance doing the boat, night, search&resque specialties before heading to the Stress & Resque / Master Diver path is something that sounds pretty nice to me right now. But maybe you guys say like don't do theat because everything in the Search & resque course is also treated in the Stress & Resque course.. Or maybe there're some other specialties that are also being covered in other courses.?
Also is it good to stay with the SSI path or is switching back to PADI a good option later down the road? It's a little blury with all the organisations and crossing paths between them..
Btw I plan to do these specialties on the side, like planning some days for learning/courses in between the fun diving I'm planning to do.. It's not like I'm planning to do 2months of courses/classes
Thx in advance
