Scuba diving is enormous fun. However, many scuba divers question the value of doing more courses after their open water diver certification. Talking with divers, I see a lot of skepticism about continuing education. A common question asked is “Why do <\/em>more diving <\/em>courses after Open Water Diver <\/em>certification?<\/em>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beginner divers often question the value of doing more diving courses. Many intermediate and advanced divers will admit having wasted money on useless courses. Sometimes, divers are skeptical of continuing diving education. As such, they see it as a lucrative ploy by dive training agencies to increase profits. Consequently, many diver only do courses that give them a license; such as AOW and Deep, for increased depth; or Nitrox to allow a better gas choice<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This skeptiscm is the ‘Putting Another Dollar In<\/em>‘ mentality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
