Story is this - my wife and I went through our OW certification last summer followed by a pair of dives in Bermuda and St. Maarten from a cruise. Needless to say, we loved it. Whether it be genetic, by osmosis off my constant loving on the hobby, or what...now the kids are interested in getting their certifications.
However, logistics make it a bit interesting. All our kids are adults (18 and 21 living with us, 23 in WPB Florida). Our eldest works at Four Seasons and has the potential for setting up free lodging anywhere they have a resort. We also have points to travel 4 down to Florida, or 2 to Hawaii or outside the country.
So my question for the boards is this - I'm interested in potentially combining a family vacation trip with their certification. At a mimimum the OW dives where the classroom work can be done online, and perhaps do pool dives locally if the referrals aren't too much more money.
Where would you look to? Obvious choices are

Where would you look to? Obvious choices are
- Florida either in the WPB area or keys
- Somewhere in the Caribbean - Bonaire, Curacao, or the like
- Mexico/Coz
- Hawaii
- somewhere else?
