taking open water course without partner

[isurus]

Thanks for all the input. I'll feel really comfortable now taking the class solo. I just have to brush up on my social skills and look for potential future dive buddies. I'm sure once I start taking the class I'll have a million questions.

well this is one of the advantages of doing the course solo. there will be other solo there and once you've gone through the group experience of o/w, getting used to each others jokes in class, sharing the moment of the first dive etc chnaces are you'll find some buddies (of course its also good to look for a more experienced mentor to dive with at first and offer advice rather than two newly certified divers going straight into it together wiothout an instructor).
