Looking for Extended Diving School!

[Rosesrfree]

Hoping someone can help me out. Im about to be laid off and can find no good reason to continue to fight my desire for warm weather and dive training.
I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations regarding locations that offer extended training. Im currently AOW and would like to take classes up through the Dive Master Cert or possibly even the Instructor course. Any suggestions, the only school Ive run across with something along those lines is Bob Soto's in G.C.. Im looking to stay in Carribean somewhere but no opposed to heading else where either.

Any suggestions or links would be awsome.

I agree, go to Halls. After finishing, Halls has a great reputation for placement in the industry.

Try the Bays Islands College of diving, which is housed in the Utila Lodge. check out www.utilalodge.com . The accomodations and prices are excellent.

I would agree with the rest of the posters. check out Hall's in Marathon,Fl. He has a good all around program and can teach you in store operations,equipment repair and even technical diving instruction, all while residing at the institute. Although I am not a grad of there, I have had many instructor collegues whom have gone there and they know their stuff before graduating. Plus it helps to have a lifetime placement for jobs too.

Yep, you can do certification courses Grand Cayman, Danny of off the wall is amazing, he offers lots of specialty certifcations, nitrox as well. Off The Wall is great as he'll give you one on one, small groups, I highly recommend him from personal experience.

Check him out at OFF THE WALL DIVERS, GRAND CAYMAN


He knows some of the sweetest dive sites I've ever seen, Danny's the
