Hi Tedz,

You'd want lessons from an IKO or PASA certified instructor. There are a couple of them in Victoria and the shops could refer you. You might try Pacific Pro Dive shop in Courtenay as well. Winter isn't a great time to learn unless you go south. I don't know of any certified instructors in Nanaimo. Just be sure to get the lesons before venturing out, and let me know how it goes.

Cheers, Matt
