Getting reeducated
Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2022 12:36 pm
Hi All,
Getting back into diving after over 20 years. Last dive was 2020. My certs are from between 96-97.
The wife is going for OW and I am doing a full refresh on my OW in Dec. We are also doing the dry suit
The other certs I have are
Advanced
Rescue
Night
Search and recovery
Deep
Master diver
AI (I tossed my card long ago as I was passed the year instructing and realized I didn't want to instruct)
I pretty much rolled from one class to the next as I just payed for books working as a rescue dummy and diver. Looking at my dive log from when I was younger I am not all that happy with my note taking. I also find that I only have my cards from OW, Advanced, Night, and my Master diver. I went on Naui's site and saw that I could search for my certs, but it didn't ome back with anything. Maybe too long ago.
Thing is it has been so long that I don't put any stock in any of these certs. As I am reading my wife's Open water the stuff is coming back to me, but even after doing my refresher I think I would only rate myself at OW.
To my question are there refresher for these other courses or does it make sense to just do the full course again since it has been so long?
Thanks
Martin
