Hello all -
I currently hold the PADI Open Water certification and would like to go for the Advance Open Water Certification. I'm taking time off from work in mid-December and would like to know if anyone could recommend a decent place to do this certification in the continental US. I live in Fort Lauderdale, FL and I was thinking of spending a week in Crystal River, FL with the manatees in the fresh warm water springs. Has anyone gone through certifications in Crystal River and could recommend a good school? Also is there any springs that you would recommend that I dive while there?
Also I did a search on warm water springs and it turns out that there is warm water springs in Utah that are open year around and the water is about 90 degrees near the bottom. Has anyone done this and know of any decent schools that do the PADI advance open water? It'll be interesting to ski and scuba dive on the same day!
