I would also recommend taking your classes locally.. once you do that ytou can get certified (PADI) where ever you want. I have been certified now for 10 years (I did my open water in Waterton National Park <grin>)
My wife took all her classes here (Calgary) and when we were in Jamaica last year did her open water dives and got certified there. Its much cooler having your PADI Dive card show where you were certified..
