Hi all! I have been interested in getting dive (OW) certified for a long time, but it has just never been a priority. I started considering it again because I will be in the Virgin Islands in May and it started me thinking. I don't have the free time to get certified before I go, but there are lots of great snorkeling opportunities. I am just doing some research now to see if I want to get certified when I get back.
My biggest questions are on equipment and dive buddies. I have a couple of dive sites local, but most of my dives would be in Florida/Caribbean. What would I be looking at for equipment I would want to buy and travel with and what would I want to rent locally? My other question is about a dive buddy. I travel a lot on business to tropical locales, but I am alone. What would my dive opportunities be?
Thanks all. I have enjoyed reading through the forums.
