Hello, I have subscribed to TechDiver just yesterday and as the readme suggests, I try to introduce myself a lil' bit... I started diving about two years ago on the Maldives and did my CMAS Open Water Diver there. Back home I did a crossover from CMAS (Barakuda) to PADI, because the training programmes seemed good to me (and still do!) and the local dive shop is a PADI facility. I did several PADI courses in the meantime and on Saturday or Sunday I will be starting my divemaster course. I am satisfied with PADI (gosh!), opposed to many others on rec.scuba, it seems. A reason for that might be my instructor, who takes training serious (not just making money) and would definitely not let anyone pass a course without proper knowledge and techniques. But somehow I always (well, not in the beginning) fancied the technical side of diving, especially deep diving (although more or less 'forbidden' by PADI). But it seems quite difficult to find good training (on deep diving as well as on other aspects of technical diving) - so does anyone know where to start ? Well, I guess that's it... are there any German divers on the list ?
