Question: padi ssi refresher course

[cdtgray]

tpscuba-

I was surprised by your post..

You should know that there is no need to take a crossover course to PADI in order to take higher level PADI courses.

For the others on the board-
To take a higher level PADI course, all you have to do is show that you hold an equivalent prerequisite rating from another agency. For example, you can take the PADI advanced course if you hold an open water card from another of the major agencies. The only exception rests with the PADI Master Scuba Diver, which unlike with other agencies, isnt a class anyway.

Returning to the subject of taking a refresher vs. retaking a whole class, that's personal preference. If you don't think that a refresher would be enough practice, do the class. But save some money and dont pay the $15-20 for a new and unneccesary c-card.
