Hi Folks,
Seeing as this is only my second post please don't flame me if this is a redundent/stupid question!
I am currently looking for some place to get myself trained and certified for basic diving (yup...I have never actually gone scuba diving anywhere other than the local pool).
By lurking in the forums I have come to the conclusion that it doesn't really matter what type of certification a person gets, it's all more-or-less the same for the basic level. What counts much more is the quality of the instructor and facility.
Someone mentioned that there are 5-10 questions a potential student should ask a diving facility before signing up.
Now...what would those 5-10 questions be????
What should I look for in any instructional facility?
At the moment I am looking at two different facilities (one PADI, the other NAUI) and both seem equally competent from my newbie perspective.
Thanks to everyone for the replies!
Cheers,
Daryl
