My girlfriend and I are planning a trip to the Bahamas for the first week of May. I have my OWC, she doesn't. We're both relatively poor, and cert courses are EXPENSIVE.
I know that "ideally", you want to have the longest, most expensive course possible and you want to buy all of your gear through your LDS. And there's "no such thing as spending too much money on your safety". "How much is your life worth, after all?"
Regardless, we're poor. It's either low cost or not-at-all. What's the cheapest possible way for her to get certified? We found an online course somewhere, but even THAT was super-expensive.
Would it be possible to just find someone with an instructor's cert. and pay him to spend some time at one of the quarries with us? We could probably pay him $50/hr and STILL save money on the average course.
:11:
Any other ideas?
