NAUI MSD (not "do dives and get a card" program)...

Thing is, after that, I went the Technical path...

Hold AN/DP, and working on "Tri-Mix"...
 
This posted before I was done, already reported, please stand by.


This poll is to give some numbers to Percentage of divers who go beyond openwater? . In addition, the numerous DM MSD choices are made to address another question that came up in discussion. I put this in advanced for a more lively discussion, should it be needed.

I don't get into the advanced rec specialties, also known as tech.

LOL. I guess the Poll title ought to be: Percentage of Divers on ScubaBoard Who Respond to Polls Who Go Beyond Open Water?

I think we need a PADI/NAUI MSD thread...………..(smiley face thing I forgot how to do).

Got to start somewhere.


Out of your choices Rescue. Otherwise Adv Trimix & Closed Circuit Rebreather (Meg)

But you have instructor under your avatar? I am just looking for the highest certification, if you are an instructor I don't care if you "missed a step". Instructor implies a knowledge, skill, and responsibility greater than the other certifications.

I didn't get into advanced recreational because there are so many certs and and progressions, it would be like doing the same for recreational specialties, but an instructor is still an instructor.

I'm increasingly suspicious of the info under an avatar. Instructor does't mean instructor, Solo doesn't mean solo, 0-24 or uncertified doesn't mean squat Divemaster doesn't mean functioning,

If it makes you feel better, I am a solo diver, but I get your point. I don't know the rules, but could a diver go into tech and become an instructor without first becoming a DM?

When I posted rescue was the highest cert listed. Looks like your choices have been altered.

No, not in any agencies I am aware of.
