How to compare prices
Dive course prices don’t always include the same things. Before you decide, ask:
- Is eLearning included, or bought separately?
- Is all the scuba gear included?
- How many students per instructor?
- How many days in the water, and where: pool or ocean?
- What happens if the weather cancels it?
