As an admitted warm water wuss, I am planning to get my rescue diving training in Florida. Yes, I do live in San Diego, but don't care for the water temp or viz. Managed to get a week's stay scheduled in Palm Beach in June and I am trying to hook up with a good training dive shop / agency. Does anyone have any recommendations? I have done some research online, but I figured word from folks familiar with the area would be helpful
Thanks a lot.

I know an excellent instructor in the area. He lives in Delray Beach and works in Boca Raton. He's someone I'd trust to train my daughter and in case you weren't aware, I'm very picky about dive training.
Actually, we're planning a joint rescue workshop which will serve as a refresher for instructors as well as certify those wanting to take a rescue course. We will be including CPR, First Aid and O2 as well as possibly automatic defib. Those will be through ASHI (American Safety & Health Institute) while the rescue class will give you a choice of NAUI Rescue, YMCA SLAM or both. We'll exceed the standards of both. Exact date is TBD.

No! You are picky about training, Walter?I know an excellent instructor in the area. He lives in Delray Beach and works in Boca Raton. He's someone I'd trust to train my daughter and in case you weren't aware, I'm very picky about dive training.

My statement was in no way meant to be a comment on the training, but on the English language.Dan, you're a bad boy, I'm sure she meant in in the best way.

Just didn't want anyone to think I was disparaging an operation that I didn't even know.
