I took fundamentals last week, improved a ton but didn't pass. There's a detailed explanation of my struggles here - DIR- GUE - Finding teammates after failing fundamentals
My goal right now is to dive as much as possible. I live in the Northeast US so diving during a large portion of the year requires a drysuit. I have no experience in a drysuit so I'll be starting from scratch. I'm really tempted to take the drysuit primer as it'll open so much diving opportunity for me. On the other hand, I'm hesitant adding a new major(?) piece ot equipment to my configuration right after not passing a class.
So do you recommend focusing on getting a stable platform with a wetsuit first and then switching, or should I just switch and never look back?
Also, is the GUE primer a good first experience with a drysuit or should I get some experience elsewhere first?
