Know of any South Florida destinations for OW training.......Something sortof all inclusive (not price but location)?
I'm interested in taking my family on a "vacation with a purpose"...or call it an "adventure vacation"
where we have some shared experiences, learn a thing or two together, and open up possibilities for the family
The purpose is get my wife + 3 kids open water certified
I'll either audit the class or just take the class or incorporate a "Scuba Refresher" class with their class...depending on how the instructor would want to play it out. My desire is to go through the whole thing with my kids just watching not "helping" so I can see what they are taught, etc...
My wife doesn't want to spend "the whole vacation" in class or even doing 100% dive stuff (and that statement tells me she's not that interested, but still....shared experience and memories)
I'd look outside of FL or even international, but we've got some other big trips coming up so close and driveable makes sense to keep the time shorter and the cost down a bit.
I've just about settled that it makes the most sense to just take the training locally through a local shop. Prob Diver's Supply or maybe a different one.
Pool dives on a weekend and then spring dives a following weekend
but
I thought I'd throw it out here in case there's a location I haven't found.
Park the car, nice hotel, training dives in the hotel pool or right next door, checkout dives right there too.
Nice hotel in a nice area where there are other non diving things to do for the part days and evenings.... vacation type destination....I'm interested in taking my family on a "vacation with a purpose"...or call it an "adventure vacation"
