Hi everyone,
I will be taking a cruise (Western Caribbean) sometime next year and I
am interested in scuba diving at its ports of call, Cozumel and/or
Grand Cayman. I was informed that I need a certification before a can
take a dive. Is PADI sufficient and acceptable to those islands? I just
noticed that there are more than one types of scuba dive certification
so I want to make sure I am taking the right one. I am still not sure
whether scuba diving is for me or not (I'm content with the simplicity
of snorkeling) so I am interested in taking a minimal but safe
requirement to take a dive.

I found a 4-week course, PADI Open Water Scuba Course, charging about
$145 + $59.95 per person (crew package: book, record file, RDP dive
table, log book, and PIC photograph). They deliver all SCUBA equipment
to the pool and dive sites plus 3 free scuba rentals (after certified)
as a bonus. But I must supply the following: mask, fins, snorkel,
booties and gloves. Is that a good deal? Is there anything that I need
to know in selecting the right training and certification?

Any advice would be appreciated including how I could best approach
this scuba diving trial without getting disappointed or wasting too
much money. Thanks.
