    Scuba diving course in HK

    I am going to the Great Barrier Reef over Easter and want to get my scuba certification before. Does anybody know of a place in HK where I can do this? (Ideally at nights or weekends).
    Thanks!!

    What's involved in getting certified, in time and money terms as well as actual training? Scuba's been vaguely on my list of things to do for ages - this may be the year!

    As for money, I am not really sure, the shop takes care of the billing, I just teach. I think its between $3-4000, but I'm just guessing.

    As for time, it takes 1-2 days in the classroom, a day in the pool, and 2 days of diving in open water for a total of 4 dives.

    Just found this thread - and like others I'm keen to learn here in HK before I miss out on more opportunities to dive whilst holidaying in 2006!

    Sylvesterjay - I've PM'd you to ask for more details. Thanks.

    Sounds like Maddie is going to start around Feb 12th, so if anyone else wants to join the class...
