Another thread got me thinking about this. What would be the total cost to go from being a recreational diver to being able to do a 300 foot dive in relative safety?
My off the top of my head guess is around $20,000 ????
The technical training. (Advanced Nitrox/Deco. Normoxic Trimix. Hypoxic Trimix) would be around $2500 +gasses,travel etc etc.
Big Doubles,3 stages,5 regulators maybe $3000. Dysuit $1000.
The major expense would presumably be gaining experience.Nobody in their right mind does 300 feet without working up to it .
Anybody got any more informed numbers?
(Bouncing to 300 feet on an 80 does not count !! )
