Sorry if I didn't include your cert. I could only add 10 options so I had to narrow it down.

I don't have any of those certification mentioned above. I used to be with my friends in a scuba diving for fun.

[aima123]

Me too. I was not able to try in scuba diving, but hoping to try soon. I think it would be more adventurous to explore underwater world.

I wish I had even one of those certificates.
But I think I might be too young for them.

[shinningstar]

Do you think it's a plus factor if you have these certificates? I think it's easy to find a job if you have these certificates.

Lol, I don't have any certification at all. My only scuba diving expirences were with friends and family. I wish had some certification, so I could take people out to the water. And scuba more often!

I don't have any scuba diving certificates... why? Well I never actually had any scuba diving experiences! But I'd love to.

Open, Advanced and Rescue Open water class work is boring but once you get through it and into the ocean you won't regret it! Advanced so far has been my favorite beacause of the wealth of 411 delivered. Rescue was very rewarding and builds diver confidence. All three Classes and lots of open water time will create the base of a strong safe diver

Hi obstinateLapache! Welcome to the 365!

I've been looking at taking some more classes after doing Nitrox in Roatan, Honduras and I'm glad to hear Advanced was a good class. I think I'll do that one next.

How long does Rescue diver take? I was under the impression that one was pretty intense.
