Scuba Do,
I changed dive shops because of the same type issues you're having. The Rescue course kept being postponed due to lack of students or not enough students. To make a long story short, I went to another shop and found I was more comfortable there than at my old shop. I signed up for the PADI Rescue course and never looked back. Today, I'm on staff as an Instructor at my new shop, all because they were willing to conduct a 3 person Rescue class. Get out there and look around, you will find some good local shops that will work with you, not around you. Both PADI and NAUI have excellent Rescue Diver courses. I would recommend either to you. My PADI rescue course was the best class I've ever done. I came out of rescue class a more competent and confident diver. As a matter of fact, I pattern my rescue classes after my original rescue course. almtree: Bob
