    Hi Darryl,

    Another thing that you might think about. Hang out a little with your
    potential dive instructor. There will be some people that you will get
    along with better than others. I had a girl who was so condescending and in
    such a hurry, that she would tick me off and get my breathing out of whack.
    Now I'm a fifty five year old women ,but I am not a wuss, I break and train
    horses. This gal and I just didn't work, might have been that I'm from the
    Northwest and she was from the East Coast and the way you treat people
    varies sometimes with the region, my son on the other hand did very well
    with her, but again he's been living in New York for fourteen years.
    So,...choose wisely. It's supposed to be a wonderful experience.

    Kip

    P.S. I guess this is just a long winded version of what Sue said.

    > I think once you get there, you'll understand that things are subject to
    change - without notice. What you may see in print on a website or in a
    travel brochure may not be the hard price once you're there. You might call
    it "a sale". A lot depends on the season. Slow times might mean cheaper
    prices just to get your business.

    > I also think Ed is correct in that sometimes the local dive masters are a
    little more familiar with the dive sights. There are a lot of instructors
    and dive masters who are just there, trying to earn just enough to get by
    and be able to dive cheap or for free. They can't possibly know as much as a
    local who has grown up diving in the vacinity.

    > Ocean Connections has been around for almost 10 years. They have
    experienced dive masters and instructors who know where to go. They will
    also be flexible, as far as allowing you to dive the way you want (once
    you've demonstrated to them that you are experienced). They also take small
    groups. If you'd like to contact them ahead of time you can reach them via
    e-mail at:

    few and find the one that is going to serve your needs best.
