I have never understood the wreck certification up here, most of our wrecks are WWI & II or older and have collapsed in and look like junk piles. Other than running lines what is there to learn?
Dutch is not deep, just cold and rarely do NE dive boats go out to deep water. I don’t think any of my NJ dives in the last 30 years has been over 140’
I signed up for a rescue class at a shop near Trenton, the instructor never showed and the shop never rescheduled. I got on another shops list for an equipment class, they called me back two years later. I guess these shops don’t need the money.
There is a meet up club in the Meadowlands that you pay a membership fee to that includes any classes you want to take and they have an active class schedule posted. If you take a few classes a year their fee schedule would be cheaper than doing them at the LDS. I have the link on my home computer, I’ll try to put it up tonight.
