    Swim and Scuba in Rockville Centre, NY

    Hey, SBers,

    Has anyone hear any thing positive or negative about Swim and Scuba in Rockville Centre, NY? A friend wants to get classroom and pool work in before doing referral check out dives in a tropical locale.

    For convenience, friend would rather the LDS be in Long Island closer to the Queens border, rather than in Manhattan, Westchester or NJ. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
