FWIW - Doesn't PADI recommend(require?) that you stay above 60' till you get your AOW? Not that I agree. But you did ask...
If any of this seems inappropriate, would appreciate any inputs.

I should have said <<<100ft. You are right. 60ft is the max I was taught in class for beginners. But I'm really suprised to see just how many people have told me that they went to greater depths within their first 5-10 dives. Even my dive instructor took me to 65 during my cert dive...I think it was a mistake!

I wonder how many folks went hit 100ft before 25 dives? Maybe a discussion for another thread.....


Thanks for all the greets! As soon as I'm geared up, I'm hitting that water all week long!

Whatchout for the scuba-police, they will get you...........easily identified by those guys who dive with the long hose, and all dressed in black.
