I got my OW, AOW, and Nitrox about 10 years ago. Since then, I've done boat dives, deep 40m dives, stage bottle dives, solo dives, drysuit dives, drift dives, night dives, and all of them were self-taught through lots of research on my own more or less and I've never really stressed on any of them. I very rarely go with a dive op.
Now I see that PADI and SSI have all of these as paid specialty licenses.
Are these licenses really required? Is it common for dive ops across the world to say you can't, for example, do a drift boat dive on a wall without having the drift, boat, and deep diver certifications?
