So, where can I rent âgearâ to train/teach my family in Kansas??? Guessing I can't
Been diving for years. Tried to get my wife into it awhile ago. She did a "resort" training in Costa Rica....ended badly. She did the pool day training fine, clear the mask etc. Then they dumped her off the back of the boat. She forgot to inflate her BC. Not good. Bad training. Wife is and a was a water baby. Soured her for life
I have an advanced scuba from NASDS. The family is going down to florida and I want to do John Penacamp Park.
I live in Kansas. We are not gonna scuba much at all...There's not much diving around here. So this is a one time expericence at this time. I don't really want to spend a thousand dollars to get my family licensed for one day in florida. And I don't want to spend 4k on gear to train them. I'm not talking about decompression diving, just along the reefs at the park.
So, what I need info about is where can I rent gear to teach the basic's. I'll take them to the pool, then the Missouri river, thus wade in slowly to get comfortable...not drop them off the back of a boat. Take it slowly to train the basics.
Then go have fun off Key Largo for a day.
Again, if we didn't live in Kansas or near a lake, I would spend the money for lessons, that the kids and wife could have for a lifetime.
I feel comfortable in training them for non- decompression dives, I have 1,000 hours diving in the lake of the ozarks. I'm not a professional but feel I can teach for 30 ft dives on the keys. And MUCH better qualified then those YAHOOS in Costra Rica.
Give me some ideas or Flame away
