Hi Dive Trooper

You are standing at the door of a lifetime of adventures. Diving is a fantastic sport and opens so many doors. It can be a lifelong hobby or even a career for many. The way to start, is to decide what training agency you are learning with. This might depend where you are living at the time. I am sure you have heard about PADI. PADI stands for the "Professional Association of Diving Instructors". World wide this is the biggest training agency and certifies the most divers as well as Professionals.
It is important that you choose the right diving centre. Have a look around and inform yourself on what is offered and what is the time scale of the program. This also depends whether you are completing the Open Water Diver Course at home or on holiday. In a Resort it might take between 4 and 5 days to complete the Open Water Diver Course. If you do it at home then it might take longer.
You can send me a private message and let me know where you live and I might be able to direct you to a good diving centre nearby. Or maybe you decide to do the lot on holiday.
Whatever way you are going for I am sure you will have a great time and enjoy the wonders of the fanatsic underwater world.

All the best

Dive Devil
