Anyone have any experience with referral OW certification dives at LCBR? With my daughter (and regular dive buddy) heading to college in the fall, my wife has decided to "give this underwater stuff a try". She booked herself an OW course in late November and told me to find her a place to do her certification dives in February. We've been to LCBR twice, and even as a non-diver she loved the place, and the style of diving (boat, light if any currents) appeals to her. I couldn't think of a nicer place to bring her. Do I need to ensure in advance that they have an instructor available to do her referral dives upon arrival? I don't recall seeing them conducting certification dives while I was there, but that doesn't mean they don't do it regularly. I sent the dive staff an email, but have not heard back yet. They may figure "that's way out in February" but I'm reluctant to pull the trigger on the high airfares these days without having all my ducks in a row.
I'd welcome any comments on LCBR as a place for your first dives. Obviously I want to take her somewhere where her first dives will make her want more!
