I just completed my rescue course about 4 months ago and am looking at doing some more ongoing training but i am just not sure what to do,

either my DM or some specialty courses such as nitrox or wreck

what do you guys think???

Doogs,
IMHO, Divemaster is a great course, IF you intend going down the professional/instructors route. If you don't see that in your future then I'd look towards the specialty courses.
Nitrox/enriched air is a good course, it also gives you a pretty good grounding should you fancy heading towards more "tech' orientated diving.
Other than that, what sort of thing "floats your boat" ? Photography ? marine life ? Wrecks ? Golf ball retrieval ?:D

Some people - myself included- would suggest that you just go diving but there is absolutely nothing wrong in wanting to further your diving education, pick up some new skills, meet some new people AND go diving as well.:) Whichever direction you choose, good luck with it and don't forget to keep us all updated.

thanks for that rubber chicken,
I think I will just do some specialty courses for now, and do my dm later down the track.
