Urgent! Help finding a location/shop for PADI open water this weekend

[firsttimescuba]

Hi,

I am looking for a spot to get an open water certification this weekend. I have been looking at the weather reports for Koh Tao and Ko Phi Phi and it looks like Phi Phi is slightly better? (less chance of rain) I heard if it rains you can't see a thing underwater?

I am leaning towards Ko Phi Phi (or convince me to go the cheaper route at Koh Tao)

Does anyone have any recommendations for a dive shop for 2 people?

Thanks in advance!

the reports from friends in koh tao at the mo are good on the weather front as its monsoon time on the east coast, its windy but sunny and viz is still pretty good, if you go there i can recommend crystal dive..crystaldive.com, i worked for them as a DM and videographer and promise you a great time if you go there.

the weather and quality of diving may be better this time of year in phi phi, but will be busier etc, sorry but i dont know of any dive places to recommend but sea bees always comes up on websites etc.

hope this helps

For this time of the year I highly recommend Phi Phi. If you go there check out: http://www.ppisland.com/activities Their diving operation is run by a friendly Dutch couple - Bjorn and Yvonne. They would look after you well.

Another option is Moskito Diving.

Whatever you decide - have a tremendous course!
