FIFTY DIVES as a minimum to get into the class. A NAUI Master Diver Cert means a lot. Many university diving programs use the NAUI Master book as a base to certify scientific divers and earn AAUS level; well worth it...

Whew... that makes me feel much better about it!
Like your Salma Hayek quote. Although she's never dived with us while I've been on board, we have hosted Ed Norton (no, not the one from "The Honeymooners").

Maybe you could release yourself from self-imposed poverty by selling them to people short of the required dive requirements. LOL
On a more serious note, there was a post a few months back about someone going up and down an anchor line to log dives in order to meet a minimum requirement. Makes you wonder.

What do you say to that? All I would be able to say is "Why?" I mean really ... "WHY??????"
No minimum no. of dives for NAUI Master Diver.
Perphaps read their website if you are confused:
If you are 15 years old and have a NAUI Advanced Scuba Diver certification or its equivalent, you may be ready for the Master Scuba Diver class. Ready, set, learn!
Then it is just 8 dives.
If you are all confused then these 2 pages off the NAUI site might help.

You need a minimum number of dives to get the NAUI Advanced Scuba Diver certification, then you need additional dives to complete the NAUI Master course. The point is that by the end of the NAUI Master course you will have made a considerable amount of different dives.

Actually there are several museums bidding for those wetsuits already!
Saw that one... absolutely ridiculous padding a log book that way. I'd question the shop that would accept these dives.
If you REALLY want to get some serious advanced dive training, and you live in SoCal, try the Los Angeles County ADP (Advanced Diver Program). Now there's a certification that really says something about your diving IMHO.

IMHO its not whether to take the class or to dive with an experience mentor - do both. the important thing is that after you have been diving for 10 years that you have 10 years of experience - not just one year of experience repeated 10 times. Just keep learning and trying new things and if you get a few cards along the way great. I personally enjoyed all of the specialties I got and learned something from every one of them that otherwise I would have had to just hope someone else taught me. Sometimes you don't know what you don't know and the information you get in a class helps you ask better questions from the next experienced buddy you dive with.
