My partner and I took the Open Water certification course (accelerated weekend version). We got lots of help selecting our gear and getting fitted. Our instructors and assistant instructors were phenomenal. They made sure we knew what we were doing and also made the experience a lot of fun! Now, be prepared for a physically TOUGH and LONG first weekend of pool dives. There are a lot of exercises you have to do, the class is large, and the pool is not the most fun place to be with all that heavy gear. Tough it out, it will get way better! and all that training in the pool is WORTH it when you get to do the ocean dives the second weekend. It was magical going 20ft under right next to the kelp on our first ocean dive and seeing the cutest little snails, giant starfish, little and big fish, sea anemones, diving birds, and so much more. We felt pretty safe after all that training. The instructors always made sure we understood any of our mistakes and made us repeat exercises if we needed it. I recommend Diver Dan's for the courses or for buying gear. It's a shop built around community made possible by people who are very passionate about safe fun scuba! - via
