In my short 2 years, I've already seen an OOA situation and it brought (most) everyone involved back into the Real World, real quick. Since then I've read a couple of books (Deep Descent and Diver Down) that recount diving accidents and also show the developing accident chain in the accidents. Those two things have gotten me thinking.
What would some of you guys recommend for the new guy who's wanting to better himself and his diving skills? Actual diving and skills practicing, of course, but I have a 9-5 landlocked job and 2 kids under tha age of 10. (Kinda hard to break away from Mrs. Cleaver and the kids.)
My oldest girl is 9 and *IF* she wants to dive, I've already decided that I'll have my rescue before I let her dive. I'll also make her wait until she's close to driving age. ( I don't care what the earliest age is, Dad says "no". )
Rescue Diver is likely in my future, though I don't know much about the requirements or prerequisites.
I went through all that to show where my mindset is. I want to dive, get better at diving, and learn as much as I can about how to do it right. Also, I *DO* know that I'm as green as the day is long.
Any suggested books, classes, or other teaching aids that are aimed at showing how to do it right?
Thanks and sorry for the long post.
