I'm thinking about signing Colin and I up for some classes to get scuba certified for Christmas. We're planning on going on a cruise for our honeymoon after we're married in March - and we would both LOVE to go scuba diving. We're both avid swimmers- i swam competitively for several years when i was in high school and he was in the Navy for 8 yrs and swam competitively when he was younger too. (yea, our kids are SOOO gonna be water babies
) We both LOVE LOVE LOVE the water and i think it would be something we'd both really enjoy doing instead of a stupid tie he'd just stick in his closet and never use! I was thinking this might be the perfect "gift" for him since he's got everything else he needs and is soo hard to shop for! He already has some gear but has just never had the chance to take classes and get certified. I'd have to buy gear for me but that's ok as i'll save for it.
Is anyone else scuba certified? How long did it take for you to get your certification? What was the hardest part? Any idea how much it costs? Anything else i should expect? I found this link...is the info pretty accurate?
