    Time for a new adventure.

    Thank you for the welcome. Funny you should pick those two shops. I had already selected both to go check out. I guess I'm on the right track.

    Question about dive school pricing.

    I didn't keep bringing up $75. I wrote it once and all of a sudden I'm a cheapskate. My mentioning $75 was to illustrate the fact that it's so close it doesn't make a difference. People just assumed that I'm trying to do things on the cheap. Perhaps I should find a different forum. I haven't...

    Question about dive school pricing.

    $75 is not significant to me either. This thread has gone south rather quickly. I don't understand how any of you could for one second believe I would sacrifice quality to save a few bucks.

    Question about dive school pricing.

    Ok I need to make something clear. I don't have a problem spending money. I have over $50,000 invested in flight training. I know what it means to find quality instruction. I understand the importance of proper equipment. My whole point is I don't want to get ripped off. Im just saying.

    Question about dive school pricing.

    Looking for a school in Las Vegas.

    Hello everyone, I am looking for recommendations. I have a couple of schools in mind and will be visiting them in the near future. What, if any, shops do any of you use and why? It doesn't have to be Las Vegas. Henderson or Boulder City will work too. Thank you in advance.

    Question about dive school pricing.

    Thank you for the responses. The schools I'm looking at seem to be pretty up front about all the costs. I just wanted to make sure since my own past experience is all I have right now. @Jim the price itself isn't the issue. Flight schools that do this tend to be unscrupulous and that's what I...

    Question about dive school pricing.

    I'm just getting started in my search for a school. Through online searches I have found two, possibly three, schools I'm going to visit in person. I want to talk to instructors and just get a feel for the operation of each facility before I make a decision. When I was a student pilot I had...

    Time for a new adventure.

    Hello from Southern Nevada. My brother, who has been a diver for years, has tried for a long time to convince me to get my certification. I am a licensed pilot (inactive) and am ready to take the plunge (pun intended). He always told me some of my aviation knowledge would translate. I'm just...
