It seems to me you have two obvious choices.can anyone recommend a shop that teaches PADI advanced? i have my PADI open water with VA Scuba, but they no longer offer PADI courses. my goal in getting the advanced cert is so that I can get the SDI solo cert afterward.
I have heard good things about Coral Edge Adventures ,but I have not trained with them. I visited five dive shops in NOVA recently looking for gear & CEA had more gear than the other 4 shops combined. I hear they also have access to their own quarry nearby. That's about all I can add.
