We're here now and I was hoping Nitrox cert would be easy/economical since we could step into a shop for testing, etc. Dressel wants $260 pp which sounded high -- 2-3 hrs of elearning and I don't know if that price includes a dive but I didn't keep asking questions after I heard the price.
We're only diving twice a day (while kids club is open) but we're headed to Bonaire in Dec. If we decide to do AOW and complete dives in Bonaire, it it more economical to add Nitrox as a specialty or is there no cost advantage to adding specialty dives to AOW (does it just save time to bundle the certs)? Husband is interested in Rescue Diver option since our kids will be getting certified when they turn 10 this Dec -- but that's looking like almost 1k in additional training, does that sound correct?
Thanks for any advice, I was surprised to see how much nitrox cert cost given there's no dives required (our local shop in Chicago wants $250).
