My first check out dive was on a wreck at 85ft off of Beach Haven NJ. The year was 1983. There were no specialty courses.
We learned that every dive is a deco dive, that you don't dive without a redundant air supply. (pony bottle)
We only dove wrecks because that's what we did on the Jersey Shore. First you peeked in then you went into the first room, then the next and so on. We didn't have reels. We practiced progressive penetration.
So I taught myself with the help of friends but I never took a course.
