Since getting certified I have taken the advice of my instructors to heart and concentrated on just getting wet once I completed my NAUI AOW and Nitrox in 2008. In 2010 I did my Rescue Diver course along with the requisite FA/CPR/DAN etc. I then went back to concentrating on trying to get out and dive.
While I was not able to dive as often as many on the board after my last trip I finally broke the century mark at 110 dives. A small amount I am sure to some but still a milestone. I feel I am an experienced diver and also feel there are still areas I can improve on. This leads me to the purpose of my post: I would like to do some more training now and am trying to figure out which direction to go to work on improving my skill set (Fin kicks, precision trim, etc). I am not interested in going the DM/Instructor route.
I would love to attend an AAUS 100-hour course or the LA County Advanced Diver course but I am not able to find one close to me (If I am wrong on the AAUS someone please let me know). I have had GUE Primer/Fundies recommended to me, as well as NAUI Master Diver, NAUI Intro to Tech, and one person even suggested SDI Solo Diver. Other than diving Millbrook alone I am not sure what else SDI Solo Diver covers and do not know anyone who has gone through it.
So I am opening it up for suggestions and ideas from everyone.
