Hi all,

My girlfriend wants to learn to dive and is looking for a good instructor in the Denver area. If anyone can provide recommendations or, better yet, warnings I would greatly appreciate it.

Many thanks,

Phil
 
Welcome to ScubaBoard and the world of diving!

Well, believe it or not, she has picked a good place. Colorado has (depending upon whose statistics you believe) among the top three number of divers in the nation per capita. There are a number of very fine dive shops and instructors in the Denver Metropolitan area.

ScubaBoard is a huge site, overwhelming to someone coming to it for the first time. Although the New Divers forum you have chosen for this question seems like a logical good place for it, a better place would be in the regional forum for the Denver area, the Rocky Mountain Oysters. If you scroll down the main page, you will find a regional travel and clubs section, which is where you will find us, the divers with an altitude. The people who can give you the best advice will read that forum but may not go into this forum.

I am going to ask that your question be moved to that forum.

Once it is there, you may want to give a little more specific information about where she lives so that people can zero in on what's reasonably near to her.

Since I don't know him, I looked through the web site to see where he is located. If the web site mentions his location, it is very well hidden. The phone exchange covers a lot of ground--it could be as far as 7 hours away from Denver. I finally did a reverse lookup of his phone number, and it says he is in Fort Collins. That does qualify as the Denver area, anywhere from one to two hours away, depending upon the starting point.
 
He is in Eaton, but may not be a problem given where and when! He certified some friends in Evergreen for me in Summer! He uses pools in the greater Denver area! Good guy very safety oriented and detailed!
 
O2fill, can you give us an idea where she is in the Denver area? It's a really big location.
