How to get SCUBA certified
How I did it: My boyfriend and I went to Alona Tropical in Bohol, Philippines, and we took the course from ProSafari right next to the hotel. The instructor, Jomel totally rocked! He was very thorough and ensured the dive was fun and safe. It was awesome!
Lessons & tips: It's best if you can get a very small class size, esp. if you think you'll get a bit anxious. Try not to let too much time pass between the classroom/pool section and the actual open water dive that way everything is still fresh in your mind.
