| I recommend MBT divers. I've been using them for a few years, and have always been 100% satisfied with the service I get there. It's a great group of people to train with and dive with. check them out here: http://www.mbtdivers.com/ Felix

| It's usually $199.00, but they sometimes run specials or have discounts. So, if you catch it during a special, you can probably get it for $179.00. They also offer military discounts. You'll also have to buy basic snorkeling gear: mask, fins, snorkel, booties. Gloves and a wetsuit are recommended, but not required. The cost of the class includes all the training materials and rental scuba gear for the certification dives. If the class goes to Vortex Springs for the cert. dives, there is an entry fee of about $20 to get into the springs. If weather permits, the dives are sometimes done at the beach, which costs nothing except gas money to get there. There are a couple different schedules available. When I got certified, it took most of a week, going to classes and the pool in the evenings, then diving Saturday and Sunday. They now offer weekend only classes that require (I think) two weekends to complete. Give them a call to find out what the current schedules and prices are. Any of them would be happy to tell you all about it.

Thanks so much for the offer but I wont be able to make it over there anytime soon I really want to get my cert but I guess i will have to wait  They have classes that go on every week. If you call them up, they can also schedule the class work, pool work and open water dives on your schedule. You do not have to stick to a set schedule. You can do the class work one week, and the rest another week etc... Where exactly are you located?
