Hey all,
I've signed up for my open water and I'm currently going through the book and watching the DVD. I understand the logic and the planning but one thing eludes me....
How do you know how deep you're going to go?
For example....
I'm going to Cozumel for my certification, I've heard great things, I'm pretty excited, and I'm looking around the web for dive information. I see lots of great photo's, stories, and even names of places to dive.... but no one mentions the depth???
Now before everyone jumps out and says a newbie has no business planning a dive so soon... I know this... I'm just asking. You head to a location that has great diving, you don't know specific details about reefs, walls, whatever... how do you find out and how/when do you actually plan your dives?
Do you go to a local dive shop the day you get there and ask when you book a boat? What if you go to a place where there's reefs where you just walk in off the beach?
Thanks
