English Dive course in Sao Paulo, Brazil

[derry_wu]

Hi, guys,

I've just got OW in Caracas, Venezuela and I'll go back to Brazil next month.
If I want to study AOW, is there any center provide the English course?
And is there any information about the shops?

BTW: I've heard the equipment in Brazil is much higher than Venezuela, is that true?

Sorry too much questions : )
Thanks for your help!

Hi Derry, here is what I've found so far. www.narwal.com.br Ask for Roger. If you need the phone number, let me know. Enjoy Brazil and take a thick wetsuite for the cold water! Bob

Hi, thank you so much, I will contact him.

Thanks for your suggestion.
The water in Brazil is cold? But it's summer now

I just come back from Venezuela, the water is so warm and the water is good

I know that it is summer down there but in all the photos that are sent to me, the divers are wearing drysuites or heavy wetsuits. Go figure.

Derry,

Try KokaSub, Kokasub - Dive Center, they have courses in English and Spanish under request, for both recreational and technical diving. They are one of the best diving shops in Sao Paulo.

About the suit, if you dive near Sao Paulo, during summer a 5 mm wetsuit is enough. During winter I use a semi-dry suit and a hood.
