Thanks! I just book a referral dive with MDDC. For the OW dives, the first day will be from shore and second day from boat. Seems most companies in Maui offer shore dives for all 4 OW dives, and just a few give you the option of boat dives but charge extra.

Yeah, it'll be costly and depends on the shop. I found a weekday deal at another local shop (Marin Diving Center) for the confined water training for $149, from 10am-7pm. For the OW water referral, it's $299 at Maui Dream Dives.

In fact a quick google search reveals...
So if you do the full course at home it will cost you $349 to get certified. However, if you do academics and confined water at home, and then do referral checkouts in Maui it will cost you $698 to get certified.
- Bamboo Reef Scuba in San Francisco charges $349 for the full course, including four OW dives.
- Lahaina Divers in Maui charges $349 for just the four OW referral dives.
