Advanced Open Water Instructor Recommendations

[David R]

Hi,

I am planing on doing my Advanced Open Water training next month and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good instructor/dive shop? I live on the Westside so anyplace around there would be preferable.

Also I was certified through PADI so I was wondering if I have to continue with PADI AOW training or can I use another certifying agency?

Thanks for the info!

David

Jeanie is a good instructor, she DOES teach buoyancy, she prefers "DIR" style of diving but she has no problems with students in jackets. She is a good person and I love her to death. In full disclosure one down fall with Jeanie is she usually has large classes and she running like a chicken minus its head, but still she DOES take care of her students.
