Hi all,
New to this forum and scuba diving. Today, I completed my PADI Open Water Diver course and am now certified. Yay!
About me: I'm 25 years old, diving with a good friend. We both want to get into wreck diving on the Jersey shore. My friend recently bought his own gear and I will once my company sends my tuition reimbursement check. I did my open water dives with the gear I plan to purchase later on.
As far as training, what are the next steps? What order should I do it in? I'm open water certified and will be getting Enriched Air Diver in two weeks (part of a promotion my dive shop was running, so I'm getting it out of the way). The next two AOW classes I can't make due to scheduling conflicts, but am looking to take one towards the end of August.
What certifications should I get next? I know I want to get AOW, Deep Diver, Wreck Diver, UW Photography. What other certifications are recommended?
I just picked up a season pass to the quarry my LDS is at almost every weekend and will be tagging along whenever possible for experience. Just wondering what I should concentrate on to get to my end goal in the most efficient way possible.
