Having learned to dive late in life I made up for it in my first year by clocking up 120+ open water dives in places from the UK to Australia. I went from a non diver to a technical deco diver in 9 months and loved every second of it. Since having kids not been able to travel as much so spend my time watching videos and reminiscing, hope you enjoy my site as much as I have making it.
when i was 14 years old i asked my mother to take me to a dive shop so that i could learn scuba diving but when we got there the guy that owned the dive shop said to me to learn scuba diving you must sign your name but i refused to because i hated my name so much so i lost out on scuba diving i also lost out on 2 dozen other once in a life time activities because i refused to sign my name on those activities as well i have now changed my old name to a new name now that i have a new name it doe's not bother me one bit that i lost out on scuba diving and 2 dozen other once in a life time activities any one else that wants to learn scuba diving do not do it because you will be asked to sign your name like i was asked to the guy told me to learn scuba diving you must sign your name but i refused to do so.
Paid 300 for the entire padi open water course; and that was for two, my dad and I. We also had to pay 70 each for materials though (book and forms to fill out for padi), so in total 440, but still a great price. The trick: Groupon.
Y'know I may have actually found a piece of a unsafe diver because I was at the beach lost my goggles found a pair of google and they were like professional glass goggles and when the plastic ones I was using then broke the glass ones that I found still work to this day
Did my PADI elearning course online, roughly 160$. The open water diver course itself was around 450$. Course completed in 3 days landing at 610$ in total. This was done at a local dive shop in Kos, Greece and not in the US.
I just paid 169.99 for my open water course and did it online. Then went and bought a wetsuit, mask, snorkel, BCD, regs, and tanks. And didn’t pay for my certification because my dad is an instructor lol. But in all honesty a comfortable range is about 1500-1700 dollars
Thank you for the information sir
