    Diving and alcohol

    I guess its all up to personal choice. I will say though that through experience, for me, drinking heavy the night before anything will result in a clogged sinus and no chance to clear. Most dives I do involve some sort of drive then dive and it would be a major dissapointment to me but...

    How long before taking advanced class?

    Did mine 16 years after OW and found it a waste of money, but they offer nothing else and charters now want to see the card for some dives. Get comfy with your gear and go for it:D
