No pun intended lol but finally decided for a late birthday gift to my self I'm going to get certified something Iv talked about for years but never seem to make it happen.
I'm trying to decided the best route to take I recently moved to Minnesota so not much open water diving till summer time. Was thinking about doing the class room and pool work here there is a dive shop close to me that offers a course then take off somewhere for my open water. Or should I just do everything at the destination I pick.
Sadly I'll be doing this alone so I'm looking for a place that won't mind me not having a dive buddie with more of a younger crowd in mind for when I'm not diving go out and have fun.
Would a liveaboard be the wrong choice for my first dive? Should I look for a resort close to a dive shop or one that has its own dive shop? Iv been to Nassau Cozumel and Cabo for vacations so that has been my 3 go to's but would like to try something new so any help would be greatly appreciated on locations shops ect
