Accommodations
The cost of the class does not include travel or hotel room in The Keys for the Open Water class.
Diving is very weather dependent, therefore, we suggest booking directly with the hotel and not a third party. In our experience, hotels are easier to change the date or cancel the reservation. AirBnB will not let you cancel. We suggest..
$$$$ The Courtyard Marriot
$$$ Marina Del Mar
$$ Creed Side Inn
$$ TRU by Hilton
$ Key Lantern
