Another piece of gear that's handy to own is a flashlight so you can look into little crevices and caves. |
Cool. I haven't done my advanced yet. I think it's more a money grab by PADI for some divers. I've been diving lots and have gone out with very experienced buddies. And I'm pretty calm and comfortable underwater. Have now been down almost 90 feet and have done 1.5 night dives. I'm pretty comfortable navigating with my compass as well. The underwater photography skills are improving too
Guess the SCUBA police will be coming after me now :-D
