Any thought's about who to get my first open water check outs with? Presently looking at Larry Parkers Reef Divers, and looks like a good place. Help! Thanks!

There is a guy ar Ramon's Dive Shop named Marlon. He is very good. I completed my open water with him several years ago and had one-on-one instruction with him. He is very patient and an exclent instructor. Give him a try.

Thanks Diver59....

We have always used amigos del mar and found them to be very good, as well.

I have a friend who recently became a dive instructor and has taken lessons from Marlon before that. My friend says Marlon is very good.

the website for the Dive Classes at Ramons is at: http://ScubaLessonsBelize.com

I TOOK MY ADVANCED OPEN WATER A FEW YEARS AGO
WITH MARLON AT RAMON'S AND HE IS BY FAR THE BEST DIVE INSTRUCTOR ON AC. SCHEDULE YOUR OPEN WATER WITH HIM AND YOU WILL LEARN MORE IN 4 DIVES THAN MOST PEOPLE DO IN 10.

I would reccomend Roberto at Barefoot Watersports. Just back from six weeks there and I can't say enough about Roberto. Very slow relaxed diving, they wont go out on rough water days as some of the other do and Roberto seems to have eyes in the back of his head.We felt very safe and relaxed diving with him, hope you will too!
E-mail Mike at mtoc@btl.net for details
