That's not completely true - if you complete the OW training within a year, you do get credit for the dive or dives. At least that is what I was told - I didn't make it in the year but the dive shop in Belize and the dive shop here both told me that they would have qualified. The main...

If you are certified you will not necessarily have a guide with you - it depends on what you set up. If it was me diving after being newly certified, I'd want to go with a group or at least someone local that knows the area, points of interests and hazards. You do both - mine was about 2 hours...

I've done both Discover dives and snuba in Belize. I liked the Discover dive because I could figure out whether this was something I was interested in without spending a fortune in dollars and a ton of time. I didn't like snuba because you are tethered to a float with other people. In my case...

I was just there last week and all I could think of was "I wish I could dive here!" when we were at Sand Harbor. It is beautiful. Being a new diver I was hesitant to even try setting something up before we got there and then once we were there it was too hectic (family reunion). Have fun diving...

Being newly certified (not eLearning, regular OW course), this is something I am passionate about. It was too easy and I don't feel that I learned the skills that I might need in an emergency. I had two classroom sessions (3 hours each), two pool sessions (4 hrs each) and then the 4 open water...

I did it!! I got certified from Sterling Silver Scuba. A fantastic group of people. Finished the Open Water cert on Sunday morning then went for a fun dive to 59ft - there's an old hewey helicopter down there. Got to swim through it. Dutch Springs is a neat place for those of you who have never...

Hi there - my name is Julie and am new to this sport. About to finish my OW cert this weekend at Dutch Springs - a little nervous but also very excited! My only other experience with diving is a Discover Dive in Belize - can't wait to go back down there - the reefs were beautiful.
