Any suggestions?

Hey guys I am wondering where is a good place to get my aow certification. Looking for somewhere that includes the dives and classroom instruction. I live in the North Port area not to far from Venice. I am looking for the most reasonable price. I am currently NAUI certified and would like to stick to somewhere that does NAUI certification. Any suggestions?

There is also a Scuba Quest in Venice. Right down on Tamiami Trail.

I know you said you want to stick with NAUI, but there is a great place in Sarasota called Florida Underwater Sports that does PADI. They are really good people. Ask for Greg or Carl.

But if you are dead set on NAUI I here Fantasea Scuba in Port Charlotte is real good also.

Hello again wondering if you guys know the prices of these places for everything the class, dives, and books?

^^I agree with what LB said...another option if you are wanting to it next week would be with SSI. I have a couple of friends that are doing the class work Friday and doing the dives Saturday. The class is only $80 dollars and the instructor is really good. PM for the info me if you are interested.....

The Scuba Quest website says it is $99 plus tax and books. I don't know what they charge for that stuff but I think you could probably work out some kind of deal. Just tell them you are shopping around and see what they can come up with for a price.

I've heard excellent things about Fantasea SCUBA in Port Charlotte. NAUI and it's close by for you. I've never monitored their classes, but all my dealings with them have been favorable.
