First off I want to say thanks to anyone who's helped me out before. This website has to be one of the most informative, mature, and well developed web forums I have visited.
My deal is that my uncle and I are looking for something cool to do for the summer.(I'm 17 and starting my last year of HS in september by the way) I brought up SCUBA, and he kinda liked the idea as well.
We have friends who live in Key West, and we've been talking about going and getting certified down there. He thinks it would be better to get it done somewhere else because 'it will be more of a destination kinda thing'. In other words, it would give us somethign to look forward to and focus on.
So the first thing that came to mind for him was Captain Hook's in Marathon. I'm looking it up and I see its got an okay rep (or at least their flashy website does). What do you guys think about it?
I was told that when getting certified I should look for a good instructor.. And I guess that is paramount.
Does anyone know any other PADI certified locations in the keys?
