Open Water Dives for Certification

[jdbmga]

I want to take the PADI certification course locally. It will include the classroom and pool time.

 

Does anyone know where I can go to do my open water dives in Grand Cayman to complete my certification?

 

Thanks.

You can do 2 of the four required open water dives at each island.

Do you recommend all of these or are some better than others?

Do you have any recommendations for dive outfits in Cozumel for me? :)

I've only been out with Neptunes, but have read positive posts about divetech and sunsethouse. I included Eden Rock because they are the closest to where the tenders dock in Georgetown, other than that, I don't any anything to say about them either way.

Divers Down would be another option. They are right in town, well established and have great instructors.

 

I'd be careful with Eden Rock, their standards have been patchy recently.

 

Dive Tech is miles out of town and not really practical but Sunset House and Don Fosters are viable alternatives.
