I saw the old "dive cert" thread.. from 2008???? i see that they offer cert now onboard.. does anyone know what this entails? how much it is, how may hours of instruction, dives, etc? Has anyone done this? I'm looking at maybe booking one of these ships as a surprise for my son who is graduating with his marine science degree and hasn't had time to get certified yet.. Any info would be welcomed..
Thanks!
Sail on! :ship:

YIKES!!!!!!! So they don't have signs when you get off with buses to know where you are going? Our trip last year we only did one excursion and it was in Labadee Haiti which was so small there was no cars or buses. All was walking distance and you followed the signs. This time around, we have excursions at every stop, we have kids (didn't bring them last year), AND all excursions include a bus ride.......now I'm worried!
Every excursion I've taken had people there with signs..it's a little chaotic but just ask others. Everyone is in the same boat..no pun intended. Find your group by the sign with the name of your excursion

I should have been more clear.. he's graduating from College.. he's a marine science/astronomy major and is continuing on in grad school.. He lives in Tampa right next to USF so maybe i'll look for dive schools in that area or with the university even. he will be there for the summer working so he'll have time now to do his certification.. then maybe take him on a cruise so he can dive.. what's the best islands? Mahogany Bay? Cayman? Cozumel? Thanks for all the great tips.. I've always wanted to dive but never had the resources.. now I don't have the physical attributes needed to be safe in open water.. from what I've read, divers don't like to be around "newbies" that are "not 100% confident" as they make it "dangerous"... I'm not so sure I like that attitude when you are a certified diver but don't have a ton of dives.. where would you all suggest I look to cruise for him to dive safely without "annoying" others...
