I did the Discover Scuba on our cruise two weeks ago and enjoyed it. I decided I would rather take it slow while learning to dive for my certification, so I booked classes here at home, in the midwest, and after the pool work will do the open water dives in a lake or rock quarry, even though that's not ideal. It will get me certified. And then I booked a week-long dive trip to Bonaire, my husband's favorite dive location, for the fall. I think I'm set!

Interesting topic - I've been considering this myself on a cruise later this year. My husband and son are certified divers and I'd like to get certified, too, and it seems like a good use of time to do it during a cruise since my time at home is so jam-packed. And we live in a landlocked state and watching my teenage son do his in a crappy local pool and in a freezing cold rock quarry did not look appealing in the least. My question here is, there's a mention of advanced divers heading out with the cruise group that's doing their certification open-water dives. That would work well for me if at least my husband and son were in roughly the same area, doing their own thing, diving, while I did my certification stuff at port. Is that possible?

My cruise is April 1 and I can't pre-book entertainment yet. I also received the email saying it was time to book, but then it actually wasn't possible.
