Hello folks....
My son is a Star scout and has expressed interest in learning to dive. Neither he, myself, nor his troop have any scuba background. I have been looking into the BSA Sea Base OW certification and am curious of your thoughts. What do you think of the certification program? Is it worth the travel money (from Virginia) to spend pool time in Florida (I'm assuming it's alot of pool time?) Despite the cost, personally I like the idea of getting certified over a summer week with friends/scouts away from hassles of work and school. Would appreciate any and all experiences and thoughts. Brian
