actuali if $$ is not an issue
i would suggest go for school..
it's more systematic..and if u r afriad of having to get different instructors each time, you can pay a bit more to get a fixed one.
i heard many unpleasant experiences from my friends regarding ptv instructors...some eat up your time, some of them just anyhow teach you, some dun bring you to circuit becoz they lazy to book for you and etc..

If time is an issue for u, School will be better option. As the practical test date for school is much more faster as compared to private. Private students have to wait up for 4-5mths while school most probably 2months, this is wat i c.

Have you heard of being the instructor family's driver. Send them to where they wanted to go with the instructor inside ofcos, + the family behind happy got free driver, clock the time and call it a day......

I have a great dive instructor but he currently does not have a pool to teach in. He was supposed to use our
condo pool but they will not allow it now. Let me check in with him and get back to this forum.
