Hi everyone! This is my first virgin post here although I've been stalking the forums for quite a while. I'm looking for a decent and affordable LDS to take my AOW with while I'm here in Houston for a business trip from this Sunday till 1st April. I'm guessing the course runs for 2 weekdays (theory & pool) and 1 weekend (5 OW dives) which will cater to people restrained by normal office hours.
From a few sites I've seen online which have advertised AOW courses as low as USD199 or 250 (incl. rental gear, excl. course materials $60ish), what is the total amount I should be expecting to pay for a weekend AOW course? And which LDS should I look for? My office and accomodation is around the 77042 area. Are all the dive sites horribly cold right now? All my dives have only been done in the tropical waters of Asia with a 3mm wetsuit. Thanks in advance!
