My son just moved there to attend MMI (marine technology) and his apartment mate wants to learn to dive. And suggestions on a shop? Not the cheapest....the best. They live about a mile from Sea World.

Dayo Scuba in Orlando is training only, no equipment sales. Owner Tom Johnson has plenty of gear, and lends it to students. That is masks and booties, too. It takes the salesmanship out if training. My daughter trained with Tom and has done really well.

If you don't mid traveling, there is South Lake Divers, in Clermont. About 25 miles west of Orlando.
When I attended MMI I worked at a shop near Universal, but they've since closed.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Gary!
I am no longer affiliated with Divers Direct as an instructor, though Gander Mountain still wants to talk to me about it. I only do private or semi private classes now and the academics are online.
I exceed the requirements for both of my agencies (NAUI and SDI/TDI) in all of my classes. I teach those who want to learn to dive more than they want a c-card. You will get the latter, but only when I think you are ready.

Sorry Pete,
I did not know that you no longer teach with DD.
No problem... I believe their manager has a problem with me exceeding the course requirements. I just don't do cookie cutter courses. This is not the norm for Divers Direct.

Can't go wrong with NetDoc! If you can stand the corny jokes, that is...
