Getting Certified in Corpus Christ/Port Aransas

[TMF89]

Hey guys, I think this is the right forum. A friend of mine and I are getting our class/pool certifications done up here in Minnesota (the reason we can't do an open water dive up here is about three feet of ice which require two specialty permits to dive, lol), and my grandparents winter down with you guys, so we were hoping to stay down there on our spring break, and get certified open water down there. Can anyone recommend any instructors/dive shops for us? Thanks for the help guys!

There are two dive operations there that I know of. A Scuba Venture and Cocharan's. Of the two, I would recommend A Scuba Venture. If you are not doing the class under SSI, you will need to bring a Universal Referral Form with you. Check with youor LDS.

I got my OW cert in Corpus 21 years ago. We did our check out dives under the SPID Intercoastal Bridge.

Ditto for Ascuba, good group of guys. I have been into Copelands a few times and less than impressed with the helpfulness.
