Scuba Diving

Notes from PADI certification and refresher material.

Published May 8, 2024 ET

Not too long ago, I took a course of scuba diving in Puerto Vallarta.

It was great while I took it, and consisted of a lot of information. Going through a PADI certification booklet, it doesn't seem like much information, but like most things, if you don't look at it often enough and do it, it's easy to forget the steps. It's not just like riding a bicycle.

So, this post is meant to go over all the aspects of scuba diving in detail, and then to distill that into a "one-sheeter" that I can reference the next time I want to go scuba diving.

Would it have been better to do this years ago when I first went? Probably. But, is it too late to do it now? No. Here we go:
