Lots of options Ken... first off, I would suggest getting as many dives under your belt as possible. The foundation of a good diver, regardless of whether they lean towards sport diving or technical diving, leadership or just becoming a master diver is experience and comfort in a variety of conditions and environments.

To be specific, rescue is a very useful course and a logical next step for you. I remember thinking that I knew nothing about diving until I took rescue. The skills it teaches can be (should be) applied on just about every dive.

Eventually, you may find yourself drawn toward dive leadership. You my want to explore technical diving. The options are endless.

But regardless of which path you take, get out there and dive. Dive with people who share your enthusiasm and whose skills you admire. Dive wrecks, reefs, dive shallow and dive deep... just dive!

Have fun and good luck

I as a Instructor agree. Dive, Dive and more important Dive

I did Nitrox at the same time as advanced. I'd say my Nitrox card has served me better in my day to day diving than the Advanced.

I couldnt agree more with the above suggestions. Just keep diving, and look into a Nitrox class for sure. And just to throw out another idea, maybe consider a Equipment Specialist class. You spend a lot of money on your gear, so why not learn how to properly maintain it?

I agree with Steve in recommending a Rescue class. IMO, this is one of the most important cards you can hold because it shows that you not only care about your own diving and development, but about the safety of those who dive with you. Personally, I feel I owe it to my dive buddies to be proficient in basic life saving skills should the need to use them arise.

Steve's advice is right on -- The more you dive, the more you'll learn, and the more comfortable you'll be in the water. I know there are several Singapore divers here on Scubaboard, some of whom have had some advanced training, and you might enjoy contacting them and seeing if they'll do some diving with you and pass along some tips.

I also second the recommendation for Rescue. It's still one of the best classes I've taken.
