Thanks bostpa. I’ve already done confined water - what would be the cost just for open water?
LatitudeAdjustment - I don’t view "dive-n-dash" as ideal. My thought process is, I’m going to be in the Maldives for a week in February and I think it would be great if I could get my open water certification out of the way first so I can spend more time just enjoying my dives. Otherwise, no big deal, I’ll just do my open water cert in the Maldives :)
