lisacats once bubbled...
I was just asking about the price at my lds and it was $600 for the instruction and $200 for materials.
Check with some other dive shops that seems way out of line.

I paid nothing for the class, and I didn't even have to blackmail my instructor. He felt the work we did with the OW classes was the fee.

You don't want to know the going rate in Hawaii! I'm paying 705 just to get to rescue.*sigh*

That must have been great. When I was dm I had to pay my own way for almost everything. If the dive sites comped me when we had a class I was assisting with then I thought that was great.
The $700.00 included the cost of your OW, AWO and Rescue?

WOW! Which Island are you on? I go to Kauai every year to dive with SeaSport Divers... $700 is a lot of money for a divemaster course let alone a $150 rescue course. My local shop seems to be the going rate $400 plus a few extra expenses.
Thanks for answers guys... had to make sure I wasn't getting taken for a ride like poor ol' Jen
I paid about $250 for the class, then the $90 NAUI fee
gotta love the university, cheap classes, my advanced course was about $40

NAUI DM Course Fee here in the Philippines is about US$300 excluding resort fees, DM card, etc. I got mine a little lower 'coz I packaged it with my Rescue Class. It' really worth it 'coz you'll get your money back in less than a year depending on how often you DM.
