At various times they had programs to take a PADI 'Advanced' Open Water 'Diver' to PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor in 3 weeks!!!!! I have had to deal with those people off and on over the past eight years and have NOTHING good to say about their training. (They have a clean, stylishly decorated shop though, maybe the nicest in S. Florida.) This is not a "sour-grapes-flame-agency-holy-war", if anyone is intrested, I'll be happy to back up these acusations with facts (via e-mail, no sense in subjecting tech-divers to discussions of this foolishness). Why am I going out of my way to say all this? Pro-Dive and other outfits like them ARE IN NO SMALL WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF DIVERS/DIVE INSTRUCTORS IN THE USA. There I said it.
