Snuggle,
If you go into Pro Dive speak with Rich and he will look after you. I will second Padipro in that the great staff and nice boat is to say the least.
Very professional and outstanding diving to boot.......

All the sugggestions so far are better than anybody I could recommend. One thought is to PM Jeremy (ReefTrekker) here on the board since he's an instructor and has been known to work for pizza bones lol. Seriously, I'm eventually going to do rescue with him and he's very good with people (and local).

I've just got off the phone to Force-E (Pompano) and will be doing my AOW with them somewhere around the 19th - I have to call and book in a week before arriving. They seem a little informal in their booking, but their website pricing was clear and they reply to email promptly. I looked at about every dive school website in FLL and the Keys, including ProDive, but most were not clear on their charges and 'hidden' extras. By 'hidden' I don't necessarily mean deliberately concealed, but lists of what is and isn't included are often vague, incomplete and/or confusing - the book for example, is almost always extra, but seldom referred to, then there are things like administraion fees, and asterisks without corresponding footnotes...
Lack of attention to detail and clarity on a website does not bode well for teaching standards.
Just my 0.02 Euros.

I just did an about-turn and booked with ProDive for AOW on Saturday/Sunday 17/18 April. Things got a bit complicated with E-Force involving waiting for a call from some freelance instructor - I had some bad experiences with this kind of system in Jamaica. ProDive had a course ready to go on Saturday that gives me just one day to recover from the flight and to shop, but at least it's booked.
