Hi,
My wife and I are getting certified in the Bay Area, CA. We're doing our classes and pool dives here. With November creeping up on us Monterey is going to be too cold for her, so we need to do a referral dive when we go the Bahamas.
We will have paid $700.00 to our dive shop to get our PADI Cert. This plus the gear puts us at $1,400.00.
REFERALL DIVE QUESTIONS:
1. Shouldn't the referral dive be included in our $700.00 to the Dive Shop? And...
2. How many OW referral dives does it take to complete the cert.
Normally I'm not such a spendthrift but when I hear of places charging as much as $400.00 per person for a referral dive I start to ask questions.
Thanks
