First off, you have more seats than a minivan or even a full size van;<br /> There is an aisle for people to move around to get to their seat;<br /> Coach buses have those storage compartments, but if you had a city bus for a dive trip, those handle bars could be used for hanging the wetsuits, drysuits, BCs and anything that can be put on hangers;<br /> If you want to be out of the sun, wind, rain, the bus is a nice weathershell, given that there aren't 70 or 90 mile an hour winds.<br /> <br /> Anybody have any ideas about buses and scuba diving?

How do I get started? tag:www.diveheartfriends.org,2009-02-16:1350671:Topic:5690 2009-02-16T18:56:45.690Z Becky Hi. I'm currently working on starting a "organized" adaptive SCUBA program in Columbus Ohio but am have some trouble with the organizational aspect. Has anybody set up a club/group from scratch that can give my some pointers on how to get this up and going successfully? What qualifications do instructors need? What are the differences between HSA and SDI's "Scubility" programs? Can any certified instructor run a "Discover Scuba" or do they need some kind of adaptive scuba instructor cert? Hi.
