Trying to salvage a dive trip this week...any input is quite welcome

[KSDeepDiver]

I know AQUI does TDI, maybe a couple of others, but pretty sure not PADI.

Again, I’m not 100% on PADI.
TDI would work for me too.

I mean, I’ve been certified in NAUI, PADI, And SDI already. What’s another one to add to the mix?

I’m fine with TDI. I just need a recommendation or something so I know where to start looking

I did my OW tech (AN/Helitrox) with James Blackman of Miami Technical diving, but he is typically booked months out for weekends. I've been pretty impressed with Landon at Aqui, but I haven't had the chance to train with him. I might do trimix with him as I want to do that in OW (I'm a cave diver mostly) and would like to do an actual group class.

The biggest issue is the next weekend aspect, most tech instructors are booked a month or two out particularly on weekends. But there are enough tech instructors in South Florida you might get lucky.

I’m really just hoping I get lucky. I have Wen-Sun to dive and I’m not planning on bringing multiple BCDs, just my tec BCD. Might bring both Regs for side mount and for back mount.
