Which scuba diving certification do you have?

Well besides reading PADI's rescue diver book and studying it was only 2 full 6-8 hour days full of diving and training(somewhat intense but if you have studied and have good cardio it should be a breeze). Its self paced no lectures for this one. The step below divemaster and at this point no one should have to check your work/progress. I recommend buying Padi's Encyclopedia of recreational Diving third edition which covers things like equipment, ecology, diver physics and chemistry, even the physiology of diving. whatever kind of diving you like this has a wealth of info to deliver for it. its 35-40 bucks but the book seemed to somehow connect the dots for me

Thanks for the info. I added the dive encyclopedia to my Amazon wish list. I think I'll be finishing up my US Cost Guard Captian's License and taking some dive classes this summer!
