Like everybody else what you have put seems a well thought out and logical progression, I have add I think a pony is an essential piece of kit.
Perhaps (as long as you don't smoke) the DIR-F course would be a good one to think about as it promotes a good diving position and helps a lot with kit configeration. But beware, the might indoctrinate you, they are after all the sub-aqua branch of the moonies (kidding, honest I am .................I think)
