    Rescue Diver Certifications in Florida

    Can someone recommend a good outfit in Florida - preferably the Keys I guess but I'm flexible - for a PADI Rescue Diver certification. I'm thinking about using some vacation time to complete this course/open water dives. Thanks a lot.

    Well, you have around 30 choices. Hall's in Marathon would be the most obvious, it's a training school.

    ProDive is great; you just mentioed the Keys. There are many PADI schools along the east Florida coast, Hall's and ProDive have complete Recue programs (I'd suggest taking O2 Provider and CPR with Rescue).

    If it doesn't have to be PADI, I'll be doing a NAUI at World Watersports in Dania early February. There will be a CPR, FA and O2 class available preceding if you are not currently certified. You can PM me for details or watch their website - I should have the class posted in the next day or so.
