If you're looking to get your PADI AOW certification and you are considering South Florida as your destination then please, please consider Underwater Explorers in Boynton Beach.
Kevin (the owner) has a very high recommendation from many people here on Scuba Board. So last June I decided to include a couple of dive trips with Underwater Explorers to see for myself. Well, this winter my buddy and I finally decided to get our AOW. We chose Underwater Explorers.
Now, let me say this... If you're just collecting c-cards then pick anyone who is convenient. But if you are looking to seriously improve your skills then you won't find a better instructor than Kevin...bar none! I don't live in south Florida, in fact, it's a 10 hour drive but I just have to take a moment to say how awesome of a guy Kevin is...as an instructor and just as someone cool to have a beer with.
As you would expect, a top notch dive shop owner should also have the best people around him, too. He does! Wilhelmina is simply one of the nicest people you will encounter. Her underwater breathing ability is unbelievable! Be sure to ask her about her baby moray eel song . Then there's Alex. This dude can drive the boat better than most people can drive their cars. I have seen a few captains and I can say that Alex is incredible.
Great job to the UE team!
