When I am teaching beginner courses I usually take the students for the first two or three open water dives to a diveside that is average for my area and the last dives of the course are done at a place which is in my opinion one of the most beautiful divesides of Germany.
So basically my students have two options:
Either they love the first dives already, are hooked to dive in the kind of water you usually have here (think great visibility if you can see your fins, first thing you say after surfacing "have you seen the one fish?"), and feel like being in heaven when they end the course-
or they do not feel completely sure that diving is for them after the first dives but realize during their last dives that there is another way of diving than what is done locally and love that, ask for other nice places and you can send them where the water is blue and the marine life is something more than single cells.
But in the end they have no chance but becoming active divers.
