I would like to try and get my Advanced Open Water certification possibly next weekend. Can anyone recommend a good dive center in the Middle to Upper Keys for certification?

Try Tildens Dive Center in Marathon. They have two locations and our dive shop uses them for trips. I will be there this coming weekend.

PM Capt Gary... I'm sure he can accommodate you.
AOW in two days. This reminds me of when I was looking for a good instructor for my wife to get her BOW. I was out of touch with the scuba scene in the area (never again) and I did some calling around. The shops were pushing for a crash course.
I set up a stradegy and called them and stated. "I want to learn to scuba.. do you have that quickie class that is only a weekend long?" When they said sure come on in I hung up.
I called a grumpy old diver who told me off and hung up on me. I called back ( a few days later) and we went by and signed her up. Her class was every bit as entailed as mine was in 82' and I learned that there was new stuff that I could learn from that grumpy old SOB and his staff. I expanded my education from there and have some Very good divers that I still dive with 3 years later.
Look for a good AOW class that spends time going over the classroom stuff until you have it down. Find a shop that will actually book dives that refelct the real world not certify your dives by jumping on the AquaZoo and counting that as a Boat/Nav/Wreck/Night dive all in one.
Just my .02

Hey Alex...Give us a call, we can get your AOW this weekend. All you need is 5 dives with deep and navigation the two required dives. We usually will do a wreck, boat, and drift dive to round out your five required specilities.
Let us know if we can help.
Good Diving,
Capt Gary
