Dolphin,

Try these listings from Scuba Directory. This should give a place to start.

I rather see you drive for quality than pay for convience, granted he is not the only Great Quality instructor so please look around.

Thanks again...

I can't drive to Arizona.... its like 8 hours each way.

Rather than rely on a referral based system online... I really would rather meet someone here that is in my area.... who can give a personal recommendation to a LDS/trainer.

Hopefully we have some members here that are in my area. If not... I will defenitely have to spread the word about this website!

Will continue to ask around in my area.

Cybor,
I live less than an hour from you, in Ventura.
If you don't mind driving up here a few times, maybe we can work out a schedule.

Neil, may not know it, but he is one of my favorite instuctors on this board. I have read your posts, Neil, and I can tell you know your stuff. Sounds like your worth the drive. (That is if I was in California.)

Neil,

Yep... sounds like a plan.

I was thinking of going that way anyway. I grew up in Channel Isand Harbor as a kid.

I'll find a time and let you know... and we can hook up.

Thanks.
