Scuba Diving is fine - just chose not to go below 15 - 20 feet and stay calm.
I teach scuba in the summers mostly for extra $$$ and I would have to advise against those resort courses. you need min 12 hours pool and 8 - 10 hours class -
people t resorts don't give a shit about you - they only want your loot bottom line
get Padi or ACUC cert - Padi is global - they're the most popular.

I'd say get certified in your hometown, and do your open water dive (like a final exam) in a warm climate like Cancun.
It's a fun sport and the best diving happens around 25 - 30 feet - get the best visibility and colours and it's fairly safe provided everyone is being relatively smart.

And nobody can bug you when u're under - no cell phone nuthing! better than drugs.
