How to become a certified scuba diver by octoberclovered

"This was so amazing to learn about, it's a whole community."

How I did it: I took classes with DipNDive from the end of February till mid-April. I loved the classes and only needed to do my test in open water. Due to a series of events mentioned in a few entires (sick, full test dates, thunderstorms) I didn't do the test till this past weekend-but boy was it worth it!

Lessons & tips: I never knew we had such a strong diving community in Buffalo-but we do. And there are more local dive spots than I ever imagined. Aside from just local spots, my dad and I have already signed up for a dive trip to Key Largo in November.

I really fell in love with diving. Originally it was all about diving into the shark tank, but now it's about just getting better and seeing and doing more.

Resources: DipNDive-a NAUI and PADI certified local dive shop-very accredited. (Be careful where you go-you need a place that will give you a real experience and really introduce you to the local diving scene!)

My instructors were fantastic, and my parents (Dad, Mom and Roger) all helped support this in various ways.
