Hello all; thanks for a great site.
Rank n00b; good ocean swimmer/lousy surfer with some snorkel experience: did some of that at beaches around San Diego. La Jolla cove and Sunset Cliffs, and some Oregon rivers, just farting around. Dreamed of scuba all my life and now it’s time.
I’d like some opinions and advice.
The plan:
Enroll in PADI OW/referral. Do eLearning online, then confined water with local shop in hometown Missoula, then referral to OW portion in (probably) Cozumel. Due to work constraints, OW would have to be 8-10 weeks later. Not optimal, I know.
What do you think of overall plan, and any recommendations for an outfit in Mexico to complete the OW portion? Things to be aware of, or any other ideas would be most welcome.
Thanks all.
