Hey peoples!
Alittle about myself, 27 years old and have been snorkeling all my life, lived mostly on the cost both Victoria BC and Halifax NS, And have finally decided to take the dive in to scuba!
Just signed up today to take my SSI Open Water course through a local dive shop.. I have heard now that that may have been a mistake most people are saying that im nuts for not takeing PADI, but it may have been a misunderstanding or just misinformation but was advised that SSI was just as good as the PADI.. and the SSI was cheaper. So i'm locked in either way.. non refundable my im booked for October 1/2 classes and then 15th/16th open water..
My Plans.. are to complete the SSI Open water, and then dive/work with my local shop who has alot of PADI instructors on board and next summer go and get my PADI Advanced.. i was advised that by doing this i would have certs for 2 reconized organizations and would have Zero issues diving anywhere in the world..
Either way im excited!
Thanks
Michael
