We are in quite a bind. We paid to get certified with a local dive shop, told them the urgent nature of completing certification (need to be done before a trip on March 16) and they failed to put us on the boat dive roster. So, my husband and son have completed PADI online training, doing pool dives this weekend with the shop and ONE can squeeze in the full trip on March 12th (I'm already certified)
We DESPERATELY need a spot on a boat between the 7th and 16th for one of them to complete the shore or boat dives needed to gain Open Water Certification. That will be the one missing piece for one of them.
I saw LA Divers was also full for their boat dives on March 12, but shouldn't there be other dive shops with dives between March 7th and March 16 that we can go on? It WOULD HAVE BEEN around $200 extra to do all the dives necessary in the ocean and NOW, we're faced with a much higher price if we have to charter or send one to Catalina to dive off the steps.
Please let me know if you know of a dive shop with boats going out for certification dives that could fit one or maybe two guys in. My 20 something son could do most any day(s) between March 7 to March 16th.
Thanks so much!
