Thinking about learning to scuba

[freedivernd]

I think doing a resort dive on your cruise would be the ticket.. but I know those dives can vary. My wife did a resort dive outta a small shop south of play del carmen, mx that was fantastic.. 51' max depth, nice easy drift dive, 60 minutes or more for total underwater time. She'd never scuba'd before either. (she had done an in the pool deal at a resort but it was worthless.. stayed in the shallow end, never even got to see if she could equalize her ears). I'd say.. do the resort dive, and hope you get a good one, preferably one on one or two on one.
Chances are that if you go out into the cold minnesota waters.. even if they are clearing up right now.. you may not be so fired up about diving on your trip. There is no comparison! OF COURSE.. if you learn to dive here.. you can dive anywhere! Really show those warm, clear water wuses..
An after thought... what about freediving? ok ok snorkeling? I've been to the carribean a bunch of times and still have yet to ever scuba there.. ' course, I'm probably not the norm :
