The culmination of any scuba certification course will be the open water dives. These must occur in the ocean or a lake, and specifically not in a swimming pool. For comfort, I suggest you schedule your scuba certification course so that your open water dives may be done in relatively warm water. Alternatively, you may do your scuba instruction and pool work at home, and finish your open water certification dives in the warm waters of the Caribbean.
