syngirl said:I would not bother with doing a PADI course in Argentina -- you'll do your practice in a pool, your "dives" in the river and then maybe a deep dive at a crapola quarry or something. You're the one going to Central America, no? Do your PADI in the Bay Islands, Belize, or Mexico. You'll be thrilled that you did. .

becasue of the cost/rate i managed to get my rescue cert.
True, Argentina isn't the dive hotspot but for the cost and how fun the classes were, i'm glad i did it.

I think that is in Pesos, I paid in Pesos... the official books are in dollars becasue they are ordered and shipped from the US or brazil, i beleive they offered the cheaper in spansih fotocopia version.
give them a call, and find out. if the cost is right and you have the time, do it..so you can dedicate more time on diving while you are abroad then worrying about the classes.
