How hard is it to get SCUBA certified?


I’m moving to Miami, FL at the end of this month and am interested in learning how to SCUBA dive…

It’s not difficult to get certified. What’s difficult is finding a dive shop that you feel comfortable with. As for the training agencies, there’s no real difference between PADI, NAUI or SSI at the open water level. The difference come in later, if you go tech as you’ll leave these agencies and go to IANTD. You can get hold of any PADI dive shop and ask for their discover scuba course. It should be free or at most cost you a couple bucks for pool use. Gives you a chance to try it out in a supervised pool for 40 minutes. Scuba may not be for you, better to spend 3 dollars for a pool fee than 250 bucks on a course, that you may not be able to finnish.
When you’ve decided on your shop, you’ll have to make some basic purchases. Mask, snorkel, fins are bare minimums, the rest of the gear can be rented after you’re certified. The course ought to include the use of this gear for your training period. Most reputable dive shops don’t have any surprises like “ohh did we tell you there’s an extra charge for…..”. It should be all in one package.
The training itself can be done in as little time as 2 evenings (average class time) and 2 days of diving, one day in the pool (2 dives) and one day in a quarry or lake (2 dives). That’s it,when sucessfully completed, you are cert’d to dive to 60 ft with a buddy. It doesn’t end there, there are many courses, for varied interests, to take, Advanced level open water, wreck, cavern,Nitrox,photography and peak buoyancy to name a few.
