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.

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

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: > oceanconnections.....hn > > Again, I would suggest you choose your dive shop after you arrive.
