Hi. I live in New England, and despite being near the water, have only dived here a couple of times. Not all that fond of cold, or low visibility.
My wife and I got certified on our honeymoon, 17 years ago. I have only been in about 10 times since. Last year, I did 4 dives with my daughter with a divemaster in St. Kitts. She enjoyed it so much that I thought I should get her certified (I wouldn't mind getting some fresh instruction either).
We have a window in early March to spend 5 full days in the Florida Keys (Key Largo Area). I was hoping to find recommendations here for best teaching shops in the area. If possible, I would like her to do PADI on line, and then she could get Open Water, and maybe advanced in five days. I could get advanced after tagging along with her. Who knows, maybe I could learn about Nitrox.
Some shops don't do PADI on line (smarter?). Essentially I'd like to have a personal, enjoyable and thorough operation. We are willing to pay extra to avoid crowds and discomfort. Hoping to find reviews and recommendations here. If it is OK, I will post a similar request for recommendations, in another forum.
I look forward to getting back into SCUBA diving, and get to move somewhere where it is more practical.
Nice to meet you folks.
