so i'm taking the online coarses to get scuba certified, then the pool portion of the coarse. looking for some other people interested in getting into the sport so I have some people to dive with come summer. open water part 1 = 220.00 and open water part 2 = 160.00 coarses cover all meterials needed... tanks, gear, dvds, materials... first part is done in a pool, 2nd part is done in a big freaken lake. i'm doing the online part which splits up the cost of the 220.00 and means I only have to do the pool portion.
looks like we might have a group drive n/ dive i'll have to organize in the mix... I kinda wanna go up near the crosby mines. I'm taking my online coarses tho.
once your certified you can rent stuff at a very reasonable rate. but for the price of a nice car mod you can get your own full starter set of gear off ebay. ((roughly 400-800)) and just like car parts... you mod to your liking i've been doing the online portion (120.00) so that when it comes to the pool I can just flop right in for another 120.00... vs the 220.00 up front. you also have to have a mask /snorkle / fins when your ready for the coarse.
buy a speedo.... your boys will thank you! I got the bike shorts type... the banana boat style isn't my thing!
