I just joined DiveBuddy and your question about what to tackle next has been on my mind as well. I have been diving longer than I have been certified (that’s another story), anyway, while I have some experience and am progressing with advanced training, I have been wondering about how intensive and comprehensive some of the courses actually are. If you and I can "burn" through these specialties as fast as we can sign up, are we really getting the training we think we are?
