Welcome glad to have a southerner join us :) 1 below Fahrenheit here in Wisconsin with lots of snow on the ground. We are taking a group to Utila Honduras in March. The shop I help at is also taking a group to Belize in January. The one great thing about diving is traveling to great places...
All agencies that are signed on to the International Agreement Teach the same basics, just package it a little different and add some different things. ANDI from what I found is bigger into tech diving much like TDI. The most important part of training is the instructor no matter what agency.
Welcome to Scuba Board and to the great fun of diving. Buoyancy is something that improves with practice. Warm water is great but you may find the brown water less brown as your buoyancy improves.
In Kenosha Wisconsin we have simialiar situation. We affiliatted with a already operating volunteer ambulance service to provide a dive team. How ever you proceed, make sure you go through the legal process to become a legal agency with protection for law suits, emergency response and other rules.
I have stayed at Laguna Beach and found the staff great and most people there about your age. It does seem a little pricey. Lazy Daze is a very nice place to stay also. You may want to book a room or apartment there and check out dive shops yourself when you arrive, so many great ones on.Utila
Utila Watersports is both a PADI and SSI instructional facility. The owner is Troy Bodden and I have had great fun and was impressed with his staff at Laguna beach Resort on Utila. He also operates the Utila Aggressor.
Youngest in scuba was 13, we had some as young as 7 using snorkel and 4 year olds on the surface. I think the oldest was older than Santa. We had a lot of fun doing it!
I have stayed at Laguna and found it to be great. The Divemasters were excellent and if the Skipper on your boat is Wagner you are in for a treat. The cabins are very nice adn all have docks of thier own. Shore diving is easy and you can exit onto the on pier, then leave your tanks right...
