I started recreational diving in 1976 while in the Navy. The training was REAL BASIC this is a regulator, it stays in your mouth and don't hold your breath. This personally is not the type of training program I would recommend. I was certified as a PADI Open Water diver in 1988 and have been diving very active since. I would like to say that "The webs between my toes will dry out if I'm not in the water at least every other month". I certified as a PADI Dive Master in 1999, I love to share this sport and watch new divers develop through the classes.
