Any shops offering cheap nitrox certs in GC?

[nquinn]

Headed to GC in a couple of weeks for some fun dives. I'm going with turtle divers, but they wanted $180+ for a nitrox cert.

I realize GC is not a cheap place, but would be open to doing a cheap nitrox cert if I found a good deal somewhere (or if they bundled it with a dive)

Talk to Olin at Turtle Reef/ Macabuca
He might give you a break.

Of the several dive ops I've gone with, these seem to be the least expensive:

Red Sail offers a theory session plus a two tank dive for $250. The cost of the dives alone would be $120, so a net of $130 for the course.

Living the Dream is $125 (no dives)

Lol...it’ll be cheaper for you to get Nitrox on GC then lunch will cost for four....don’t go too cheap on the air you breathe.

Why not do it through a local shop before you go?

Nitrox cert with Divetech is $150 and that includes two free Nitrox tank fills. You can do the eLearning before you go down and save precious time on island.

Why waste even ten minutes taking the test in GCM?

The cert doesn't require any dives. You just have to show you can analyze a cylinder and program your computer for your mix. I do it locally unless that's just not an option for you.

The PADI site at Enriched Air Diver | PADI says
"two optional (or required) scuba dives"

confusing? I would say so.
