We went to several clubs and decided to do it with the Dolphin Club. It cost us $50 each which included one lesson in a pool and then the real thing the next day. The stuff were very friendly although I kept using the thumb-up sign for 'OK' althogh in scuba sign language it means 'going up' and 'OK' is expressed by forming an 'O' with thumb and forefinger. And thumb-down doesn't mean 'scuba sucks', no, on the contrary, it means 'let's go down'! Another thing was fighting your natural impulse of breathing through you nose and getting used to breathing through your mouth. After we finished the lesson the instructor said, "You are allowed to bring one banana each". I didn't whether this was a joke or what it was for but then decided to get those bananas just in case... The next morning a few middle-aged americans and us were taken by minibus to Sosua where we got our equipment and got on a small motorboat. The rest of the group looked at us kind of weird when we took out our bananas but afterwards they all regretted not taking one: those fish love bananas (it's a rare delicacy for them, imagine, like trying tasty extraterrestial food once in your life!) so in the beginning the fish tried to hide from the intruders but when we started giving them pieces of banana they all flocked around us and we could have a good look and take pictures. Besides eating this unusual food doesn't harm them in any way, just remember to take back the peel with you and don't try to get shells or corals off the reef!
