Aric:Ok, we went and checked out the shop that had the $275 class. First off it had a easy feel when you walk in, the guy who was talking to us about the class was very nice and calm (as apposed to the lady at the other shop who a in your face kindof person) The price includes the Student kit (textbook, workbook, submersible dive tables, logbook, certification card, decals, mask de-fog, NAUI dvd & audio CD's) use of all rental equipment (cylinders, BC, regulator system, weight & weight belt) during pool sessions and instructor fees.
The only other costs are the checkout dives which are $50 for local dives for 2 days (5 dives) and another $50 for gear rental for those days. So it looks like I might start my class sooner than I had thought.
forgot to add, tax is also included in the price
That's a great deal. You'll be very happy with the NAUI class. Sometimes it can be more of a challenge, but worth it in the long run.
Good luck with the class and when you're down in FL, mention it on the Conch Diver forum and we'll all come out and play!
