Nitrox Specialty & Rescue/EFR Course Fees

[rhadamantus]

out of curiosity, how much do you think is a reasonable combined price of the courses above granting you will take them all in one dive shop? Let us say, one of them dive shops is located either in batangas or puerto galera.

also, how true is it that the cost of PADI materials will increase materially next year (or worse, dec 15?)

Hi! I'm in Atlantis- Dumaguete and their published price for the Nitrox course is US$274 while Rescue/EFR is US$610. Prices include crewpaks (manuals, tables, etc..) and PIC's.

I've no idea about how our rates compare to others'. They might be cheaper in PG.

Is that you on your avatar? Pardon the stupid question... Hope you don't mind...

From where I took all my specialty courses including EFR and Rescue, I believe its about 6k/course and could be more if it requires more than 4 dives and I do heard that the materials will indeed rise by 40%.

I also do believe that the dive shop/ instructor can give a good discount if they ( the 3 courses) were taken as a package. Really depends on the diveshop/ instructor.

planning to be a divemaster magz? cooool

 

[rhadamantus]

nooooooooooo, ish. lol.

im planning on doing the wrecks when im in coron next year. and nitrox is recommended.

the efr+rescue was just a shot in the clouds. somebody quoted me a price if i take the three courses, il save some money. lol. i was just trying to check if the price was reasonable.

anyway, jai gave me a much nicer package price.

jag, why do u guys always able to turn a streetsmart, wise philosophy into something really, really.....

i didnt know jai maintains a nice little garden in his backyard (thought it was on an agency-like basis). lol. but now that you've mention it, i did remember it was you and jon who recommended jai's tomatoes. so i assume you'd seen them first and thus would know the answer to your question.
