Hello!
First, I posted this thread in the New2Scuba forum as well, so if you already responded there, thx!
My girlfriend and I are going to Hawaii in a couple of weeks, we are going to have part of our trip be Open Water certification. I am mostly interested in NAUI, but would easily consider another program based upon shop/instructor recommendations. I have heard it is mostly the instructor that matters...
We are considering Maui or Oahu, Hawaii itself is also not out of the question.
So the question:
Can anyone recommend an instructor or dive shop? I am looking for someone that really cares about teaching, will spend extra time if WE feel it is necessary, and will include all gear in the deal (not super critical)... I am a fast learner and do well studying on my own, my girlfriend does better with immersion and someone pushing her.
Any suggestions folks could make would be awesome as well... Thx.
Helmut
