Hi! We have just booked our next Caribbean cruise and this time we want to take advantage of the area and do some scuba diving.
Is it as simple as getting Padi certified prior to the cruise and then finding the right scuba company to dive with while in port?
Ok... I'm not saying the Padi certification process is simple, I presume it is not with the learning, the closed water swim/dive, the open water dive, plus getting the right equipment, etc.
Maybe the question I need to ask... is getting Padi certified the best first step? Any other pieces of advice or tidbits of knowledge are appreciated.
