yes as long as they have a class and you have the money they will lecture you. you can use their gear as well.
Sign up to take a group class. In my weekly class, I will usually have about 10-20% of the students are taking the class by themselves, and they don’t have any diving friends/family.
I place off becoming certified for a long time because I didn’t have that “dedicated buddy”. I was in a group class. Now that it is about 10 years later, many of my closest friends were met owing to scuba diving.
By the way, I would avoid the term “solo diver”. There are certification levels for experienced divers that will let them dive without a buddy; but, this is well beyond the scope of recreational diving. Some people in the diligence don’t like the thought of “solo diving”.
You’ll more than liable take a class with many other folks. You will be paired with another student for classes. So your basic certification will be no problem.
There is a solo certification, SSI offers it, to “certify” you to dive alone.
absolutely it all depends in the dive shop you try they might payment more for single classes or they will hook you up with another class
if you are in NY you can try www.primescuba.com they have all kinds of classes for the cheapest prices
Yes, perhaps they will just payment you more. It’s all about marketing and business. Most of the time, instructors don’t like to lecture only one self. They like a lot of students in their programm which they can earn more in one time.
You don’t need to have any partner to take the class with you. Not neccessary at all. But, you never know if they are willing to have only in the class or what.
