I've been mulling over how to approach this next bit of education in my diving.
I'd like to take a/some wreck diving class(es)
The 'local' wrecks are roughly 110-150' to the sand (70-100' to top decks). Still recreational depths, and for most purposes, still Nitrox territory.
I already have PADI AOW and GUE-F
Local offerings are GUE/PADI/SDI/TDI
GUE only has Cave for any overhead training, which would be overkill and a tangent in a wreck (not to mention, not a local course)
PADI has their course, but I can't quite figure out from their descriptions what it is, or entails.
SDI has a wreck course as well, but much like PADI, it doesn't say much about what it is either, aside from 2 or 3 dives if it's non-penetrating or 'swim thrus'
The TDI advanced wreck builds on the SDI course, and lays out what it entails.
So, do the SDI course, then take the TDI course?
Any other paths in the BC/PNW arena?
