Looking for instructor

Post by Norris »

I have buddy that is looking to get certified. Late 20's good guy. Kinda trying to avoid a cattle class and I would be willing to help if you want. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'd suggest finding an instructor that teaches neutral buoyancy at the start of the first pool session. That's how I teach as well as a couple of other instructors. When and where is his preference? Any agency preference?

Almost all instructors do custom courses ... one on one. It will cost more but well worth it!

Looking for the Seattle area, he lives near Snoq pass so no matter what it's a travel for him. He is coming with us on a cruise and there are two dive excursions that I intend on going on.

Maybe you should try giving your favorite shop a visit and talk to them about private or semi private classes.
