I am taking mine next month... its gonna cost $135 I think, plus the book and dives ($10 a day). Its a PADI course.
 
Book and Materials $45.00
Processing fee $10.00
Instructor $65.00
Each Dive $34
Total $290
 
I just did mine this past weekend. Cost me $150 book, card, dives, fees, etc. included.
 
$175 including book and 15 dives. Oh yeah, the dives were part of the three day live-a-board we were on.
 
Mine cost $305US.
Included
8 dives (7 boat dives)
All hire gear
All air
Book
Overview on Rescue and being a good buddy

PS. And that was a good price. :)
 
$225 for everything here. But there may be hidden costs. You have to have all the gear, including a dive light, knife, compass, etc. If you don't have all the gear there will be extra cost to buy it.
 
Three specialty classes... $365
Stress/Rescue class.........$185


Evidence of 200+ dives..... priceless.

It is not the cost of the classes that matters. It is what you get out of them.
 
My shop does the AOW class for $175 plus dive fees. If students do AOW within 60 days of OW the charge is only $99 plus dive fees. We usually go to a local beach for Navigation and Search and Recovery. That saves the cost of 2 dives.

Oh yeah, we are a PADI and IANTD shop.

I am doing mine with SDI. It costs me 100 a class.
 
wow...from what I read I'm paying quite a bit...

let's see..

Navigation class= $75
Deep Diving=$75
Wreck Diving=$75
SDI Comp Nitrox=$75

(that's $300 already)

add about $90 for the books= $390

add 2 boat dives@$100+ each
That's $590 so far

Doesn't include the pony and bracket purchase or the upgrade on my reg since I'm placing last year's reg on the pony.

Boy is this sport expensive...good thing I love it
