i wasn't going to mention this, but since you
brought up 'sport chalet', that's where i got
my cert from (from two torrance instructors teaching
out of the h.b. shop) and i would NEVER EVER
recommend them. at the time, they were still
'naui', too!!
based on my own personal experience, i would
NOT advise anyone to sign up for a 'sport chalet'
dive course...unless someone else could actually
recommend a SPECIFIC INSTRUCTOR. at least half
of the time, the so-called dive shop employees
at 'sport chalet' really honest-to-God have no
clue about diving, whether it be about tank pressure/volume,
dive gear, or the quality of air their compressor
puts out (no lie!!!).
just my 2cents.
