What does the course include? Why do you think 250 is over priced? It sounds pretty reasonable to me if it includes diving.

Looking for the best price instead of the best instruction? Interesting.

I'm not sure why a Nitrox course should cost $250. I'd be looking for a better price. Some courses include dives, some do not. There really is no difference diving Nitrox, you are more learning about risks and dive planning in the course.
So, see if you can find a place that does not include dives if you are looking to save on the cost.

Fill Espress offers a course (no dives) for $125, and Force E also for about the same price. These are both very high-level shops and you should get top instruction at either. My wife and I are taking the course with Force E Riviera Beach and the cost is about $100 each, but it is a little more for a single student.
The PADI Nitrox course costs $150 here, often they are offered for $99. Courses are different prices in different parts of the world, due to the variations in boat fees and other associated costs.
Since the PADI Nitrox doesn't require any dives, I don't know why this class should cost $250 (if it's only classroom instruction)?
Unless this shop is including a dive or two as part of the training. If so, then the $250 amout seems reasonable.
There are reasons shops charge what they do, it never hurts to ask.
This may be the special high intensity training, PADI variation of the Nitrox training. ;-) You never know.
