Hello, everyone,
I'm looking to try scuba diving on my upcoming vacation to the North Coast. I wonder if anyone has recommendations for any of the dive shops offering PADI certification. These are the ones I've found:
Dive Center Merlin
Northern Coast Diving
Hippocampo Diving Center
Dressel Divers
Diving School Diwa Dominicana
If there's one that you prefer that I might've missed, please recommend.
I am considering becoming certified but I am hesitant to purchase a complete certification package in case I don't enjoy it for some reason. I've written the above shops individually asking about the possibility of doing a beginner dive and going from there toward certification.
I'll be in the area for 5 days at least so I do have some time.
Other than that, if you have recommendations/advice for two women, student travelers coming to the area in mid May, I would love to hear them. We are hoping to spend some time at the beach but we would also like to explore the area (hikes, other outdoor activities) and eat great/interesting food.
