Thanks guys

The next time my instructor gives some advanced classes I'll sign up.

Some I really think I'd like

Wreck diving
Night diving
deep diving
Navigation

so, I will get some dives under my belt and then start advancing.

Bravissimo!!!:smiley 32:

Welcome to our happy family of addicts.

Next up...a pilgimage to the Holy Shrine of Scuba...ScubaToys

Oh, and kiss your money good-bye.


FYI. Concerning waiting before advancing. There's no need. I took AOW immediately after OW, even though there was a three-month hiatus without diving.

Congrats and welcome to the club. I agree with V, no reason to wait for AOW. Besides, its a fun way to experience some different diving environments (deep, night, etc.).

We might be able to meet at Oronogo depending on where you're at.

That sounds like a good one probably would make a huge difference.


navyhmc, I'm about 25 miles south of st louis mo. Oronogo looks like its down around Joplin.

Table rock? Do you dive there? Its usually real clear. Bull shoals or Beaver might be good too. I dont know if you fish but I got a boat.
