We had a store here that sold a $400 certification.What was never disclosed untilthe end of class that you had to own your own exposure protection.Here that means at least a 6mm or drysuit.
Personal gear was above that it think.
When the store closed they never finished off the students check outs.Must be at least a dozen or two students.
The other store in town is capitalizing on this by charging $80 per dive on the check outs.
Over the last 5 years I have noticed a trend in this pricing .
would you actually take up the sport if you were told it would cost $800 ?
AS an instructor I plan on running a trip to the tropics early next year for people wanting to learn to dive.I will include everything(except meals).
That would be equipment,plain fair,hotel,dives,etc for about$$....What would you think is fair price?
