Hello my name is Will

I am new to diving I have got my OW card and have a few dives under my belt now I am looking at buying so gear so I thought I would start here to learn. I am looking at buying everything for a Rec Drive would need I don’t need top of the line. Or do I want the bottom of the junk pile. I am looking for something that will last and will take me pass my OW to more advance stuff. I am in the Navy and get a good amount of traveling in so I want to take the time I have in port to discover the Under water worlds of different places so I would like to know what kind of Certs I should go after to cover me on my travels.
 
Welcome to the board! The specialty certs are tailored to what you want to do as a Rec. Diver, so I suggest you look at the PADI pages for descriptions of each. As for what to do next, from what I've heard in my limited time learning about diving, I would suggest the Advanced OWD course. That allows you to be experienced enough to dive up to 100 feet or so, from what I understand.
Anyways, welcome to the boards.

Welcome to scuba and scubaboard. This is a good place to learn about gear there are many opinions on scubaboard. Some very strong ones so if they use the words best, greatest etc... they probably are really good.
