John,
Can't remember the names of the dive shops but there are about 8 dive shops in Krabi and all will be capable of PADI certification. A few shops along the beaches and several more shops going up the road at the south end of Ao Nang. However, I would recommend another alternative. Get certified in Koh Phi Phi Don. It's an hour ferry from Krabi. You'll probably go diving there anyway from Krabi. When I was in Krabi and inquired about diving, they all said they go out to Phi Phi for the day to dive. The point is that if you stay on Koh Phi Phi, you'll already be there and avoid the daily (multi-trips) out to Phi-Phi islands. There are almost 2 dozen scuba shops on Koh Phi Phi Don. I think they have agreements to charge the same rates. However, the goal may be find a shop that's less popular so you can get personalized attention. Not sure when your actually traveling or if you have already completed your travels, rest assured, diving out of Koh Phi Phi can be very enjoyable. Sparky
