Need Ow Instructor In Tampa, Florida

[HKMP5N]

My buddy and I were very displeased with our OW cert classes through PADI. You can read more about my story under the NEW 2 DIVING forum. The LDS has agreed to refund our money. I am convinced I am not giving up on getting the OW.

Can anyone recommend a good instructor, regardless of affiliation, in the Tampa Bay Area for us to get started again? I need someone who has a bit of patience to help get the mask removal down. I am confident with all the other skill disciplines.

Thanks in advance.

I don't personally know the quality of various instructors in the Tampas area, but I do know how to choose an instructor.

Go to http://diverlink.com/newdiver/

This is the new diver section and it deals with many issues including how to choose an instructor - what questions to ask, etc.

Good luck in your quest.

It's in the Orlando area... (Altamonte Springs) but my offer still stands. Come on out and I will help YOU to overcome your fears about water in your mask. AND, since I have already agreed to do this for free, I can promise a double your money back gaurantee! :tease: PM me if you are interested.

I'm interested, Pete. Now all I need is an airline ticket.

Me too, and I'm willing to pay for the plane, food and accomodation if you offer IDC for free!

Agree! Depending on where you are in the Tampa Area, this could be a little far. If you are further south, like near St Pete, try http://www.tidiver.com/

Walter, that's a great link. Thanks for the info.

HKMP5N, Sorry for your troubles. There is an amazing difference in instructors out there. It does pay to look around.
