I decided to go with Key West as the place to get the advanced Open Water SCUBA certification because of Key West's new shipwreck dive, the Vandenberg shipwreck. And I certainly made the right decision! We focused on shipwreck diving among other things and I can't imagine a better place to get the advanced certification. If you make can make it down to Florida, I definitely suggest fishing your SCUBA certifications in Key West.
