Hello, we have some close friends in Calgary who are interested in getting certified. The plan would be to have them do their classroom and pool work locally, then do their open water and final cert stuff on a trip to the Caribbean. Most dive operations we've used on the islands offer this so it must be pretty common.
I see three local dive shops in Calgary: Calgary Scuba, The Dive Shop, and Aqua Dive and Watersports. Anyone have any data, good or bad, regarding a shop preference for brand new divers to get their Open Water certification? This is an intelligent couple, both in highly technical fields, and both are physically active so they should be "easy students" if that makes a difference. Obviously it needs to be a shop that is comfortable with the idea of finishing elsewhere.
Thanks!
