Thanks fof the info.
I just want the basic course, classroom and pool, so I guess I would be limited to 60ft. I don't know much about the diving in Dubai yet, I am going to get some information from
www.scubaboard.com hopefully, I just signed up there. I want to do the 4 open water dives while in Dubai.
I have checked out both of those companies, I think I like Ocean Sports out of those two.
There is a cheaper company,
http://www.aquatekscuba.com/
They offer Scuba Diving International (SDI) certification, and if I can get two people, it is only $115 vs. $170 at Ocean Sports.
I think Ocean Sports has more class and pool time though, might be worth it. I think I need to find out what dive school I will use in Dubai, then whatever their certification is (probably PADI) then I will take that.
