Hello everyone, I have been thinking about taking the rescue diving course for over a year now and I thought I knew what I wanted now im unsure. First off I have heard that it is the best class for scuba divers and that you learn the most important skills so that is one reason I want to take it. That being said I was all set to sign up for it at one of my local dive shops, where it was offered for the cheapest price. But recently I have heard a few bad reviews about this shops training and at first thought "oh whatever, at least ill get the cert" but now im thinking otherwise. There are a bunch of shops around so I have options. I was wondering whether the agency I take it with matters and if everyone thinks I should go to a different shop. Paying more money but possibly coming out with more knowledge and a better experience. I have some options PADI, UTD, SSI, and TDI/SDI. So what do you guys think? Also if possibly what is a fair price for the course?
Thanks!
Thanks!
