Open water padi course in RA (KRI) for absolute beginner
Hi all, ill be going for RA from August 30 to Sept 5 and I am trying to decide to take the 3 day open water course before going to RA, or there in RA itself.
I am a total beginner never had a single dive, and im not sure if this plan will take too much time/fun from my trip, even though it sounds like diving past 10m or so in RA seems the best thing to do, but at the same time, for the very first dive being the course itself, if that can be too troublesome as maybe just fun dives and snorkel will be good enough for such a short time and for a very first experience.
I will also be spending around 3 days in tulamben, and was thinking of doing the 3 day oepn water course in tulamben instead and then going to RA ready for anything.
Was anyone ever in this situation and could give some idea if dive in RA with some certificates is a must or if that would make any difference really just for people with more experience that has done some diving and want new experiences?
Thanks!
