Okay, first off... "No", I don't really plan on doing Solo Diving.. particularly not at this point....
That said, has anyone taken this course? I have read over the course plan and it seems like it would be a real confidence building course that would speed me right along to feeling even more comfortable with SCUBA in general.
I spoke to the owner of a shop that is associated with an instructor who teaches the course and he tried to discourage me from taking it. He said that there wasn't any rule about experience level, but he personally thought that someone should be pretty experienced before they took the course. I'm afraid he ignored my disclaimer (similar to the one above) because he said that I might not be ready for "the type of diving that it promotes."
What do you guys think?
