Latest PADI specialty

[DevonDiver]

There are some very good distinctive specs around. I know that a fellow SB member wrote one modelled on fundies. There are a few around that are good pre-tech development courses. There are 'doubles' courses. Redundant air courses. You name it... there's some very good ones out there. I wrote an advanced recreational wreck spec and a tech wreck course, but haven't submitted it yet (waiting to see what PADI may introduce as standard).

Still digging around to see if I can find an authoritative list, I found this SB thread from earlier this year. It's good reading!

There is. It is called PADI's Master Scuba Diver

Good point. There goes my business idea. PADI beat me to it.

Personally, I'd recommend doing your card collecting from a variety of agencies. It gives you a winning edge during internet arguements.

Maybe I should design a specialty for virtual divers?

There's a dearth of ship wrecks here in Belize, so I developed the PADI Wreckless Diver distinctive specialty.

Rather than take a bunch of "awareness" courses, why not take actual collegiate courses in marine biology, marine environment and conservation? I know....those take time, studying and you're not virtually guaranteed to pass.

It does sound like a fun class, though, and the lowdown on the hunting aspect with a guide... very cool idea.

I had an ex girlfriend that gave me an "expert diver" card once... I think she meant something different though.
