I'd like to take Rescue, but the thought of spending a weekend shore diving in the cold Northern California ocean water *really* does not appeal to me. Sorry, I know everyone probably hates me now! I'm just a sissy about the cold water, and not a fan of the entries/exits in surf. Also, I'm quite buoyant, and I have to wear so much lead with a thick wetsuit, that it makes everything a pain. Ugh.
Does anyone know of a good shop/instructor that teaches Rescue in a warmer lake or something, not too far from Sacramento? I'm even OK with water temps in the upper 50s or 60s as long as it's nice and toasty on the surface.
I'd prefer a PADI cert, because I might as well get the shiny Master Scuba Diver rating for my trouble. Rescue is the last class I need for that.
I would consider something farther out of town (Tahoe, LA, etc.), but the timing would have to work out just right for me to combine it with a family trip to the area.
