Hi, everyone!
You were all so helpful in your responses to my post concerning SCUBA and claustrophobia (you see me as jenniee sometimes and turnbun sometimes, depending on the computer I'm using).
Now, some more questions. My main question is: how do I know what SCUBA school is the best? Is PADI the best? What questions should I ask the instructors before I sign on? Should I insist on a trial session or a money-back policy if I decide I can't go through with the certification?
Does anyone know of a good/reputable/patient dive shop in Austin, Texas?
Lastly, if I do get certified, should I buy my own equipment (i.e. regulator, etc.), or is it ok (safe) to rent it?
Thanks for the information! Your advice and comments have been immensely helpful.
Turnbun, jenniee
