Average price for a 2-tank dive?

[cappyjon431]

This might be the wrong board for this question, but I figured what group would have a better knowledge of the answer to my question?

I was recently having a discussion with some divers and the subject of the rising costs of dive trips came up. Having not traveled for dive trips in a while I felt "out of touch" with the discussion but was intrigued by the question: What is the average charge for a two tank dive trip? I realize that answers might vary considerably, so if possible, also let me know by geographical region.

Thanks!

Last time in the keys 2 years ago it was 65-70 unless you booked multiples. then you get maybe 5 bucks off for each trip up to 4 or so. SO a 4 trip package worked out to like 50 a trip.
THe Lake Erie charter we use for tech starts at 85 this year and goes up from there depending on the site. If it's out a ways it may be 100. He does not discount. Course these are deeper cold water dives so 2 dives a day is the usual. In Bonaire we had a package at the resort and I did not ask what their single rate was. In Monterey last year it was 85 for a two tank trip.

In the Pacific Northwest, it ranges from $75-100, plus tip

In Panama City Beach, Florida, it's about $85 per two-tank "in-shore"/"4-hour" trip. The deeper sites farther from shore are more.

'round here it's about $60-70 for 2 tank dives.. some shops charge more if it's a wreck dive, but on avg. its about that.

Pompono about $60.00, Big Pine Key $50.00 + a $5.00 gas surcharge.

Price depends on a number of factors. I paid $115 in Rocky Point, Mexico for my most recent two tank boat dive. However, there is only one dive shop for a couple hundred miles in any direction.

Locally, $60 or so for two tanks on the lake.

Taiwan (Kending) about 50-60USD with air. EANx 10USD more.

San Diego, California

Just off shore to Wreck Alley, 2 tank dive .. $75
Coronado Islands, 3 or 4 tank dive ... $110

Key West, FL averages $75 - $85/2 tank dive trip. Plus tip. Buying a dive pass of 4 trips (8 dives) cuts the cost to about $27/each dive. Add more for tanks, weight, even more for dive gear rental.
