Activities
I had done a discover scuba dive previously on vacation, I knew I wanted to get certified, but my wife had no interest. Next up on my list was my son, together we did a discover scuba dive at West Shore Scuba for his 11th birthday, he loved it, and so did I, I found a dive buddy! Larry was our discover scuba instructor, he was great at explaining the equipment, and teaching us beginner skills and hand signals.
We did our self paced PADI e-learning, and then got back in touch with Larry to set up our confined water training which we did in mid-December in their heated pool area. Larry set us up with a private training schedule which meant Larry was able to instruct at the pace we were able to learn and perform all our necessary skills. Larry was great with through explanations and demonstrations of everything we would need to master.
Our plan all along was to do e-learning and confined water at home, and finish out our open water certification during our January vacation to the Dominican Republic. By the time we got in the water down in the DR just a few weeks after our confined water dives, we both felt comfortable and confident in our knowledge and abilities, and the open water certification was quite easy and enjoyable.
Thanks Larry for preparing us well and for helping to make our vacation a success! - via
