    Looking for Extended Diving School!

    Hoping someone can help me out. Im about to be laid off and can find no good reason to continue to fight my desire for warm weather and dive training.
    I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations regarding locations that offer extended training. Im currently AOW and would like to take classes up through the Dive Master Cert or possibly even the Instructor course. Any suggestions, the only school Ive run across with something along those lines is Bob Soto's in G.C.. Im looking to stay in Carribean somewhere but no opposed to heading else where either.

    Any suggestions or links would be awsome.

    Plan an intelligent dive, be aware of your limits, and dive accordingly, you'll live longer


    and when you are sitting on the boat, post dive, and you are ignoring your beeping computer remember that luck changes but the Physics of DCS doesn't

    I would agree with the rest of the posters. check out Hall's in Marathon,Fl. He has a good all around program and can teach you in store operations,equipment repair and even technical diving instruction, all while residing at the institute. Although I am not a grad of there, I have had many instructor collegues whom have gone there and they know their stuff before graduating. Plus it helps to have a lifetime placement for jobs too.
