I worked it out with them to skip the elearning and just do it all with them. I am picking up the book the night before. Then doing an afternoon dive the next day so I should have time. I am meeting them at 11:30 for review before the 1:30 boat. It all worked out thanks a lot for all the...

I got the wetsuit and while the size is correct i think - I hate the neck entry. I can kind of get it on myself but I cannot get the arms down by myself. Very difficult to get one and feels weird. So I checked and a new sale has the Axis 4\3 backzip entry now at just $64.99! So I am...

I wrote PADI and this what I got. Sounds like he think I meant open water. thanks for your email. The price is different since the course materials given at the store do not include all videos and assessments, which will be covered with a PADI instructor during your classroom sessions. The...

I did notice that some shops were very specific about logging them as your destination. This place said to mark them in the list but if I missed it it's not a big deal. I am definitely not trying to beat up the shop on the price. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on here and that I am...

No the original price is $380. Hence my confusion. Last time I tried it was the same.

That site also says the learning fee is in addition. With a big range COST: $325.00 (based on two person min. add $50.00 for private class). Materials and e-Learning fees ($50 - $180), rental equipment or special equipment are not included in this price. The place I am looking at says...

The dive shop prices is for all 5 dives. Only diff is $35 less if i do online before I get there. The dives are not changing in any of this. It is just where I do the "learning" part.

Price for Full course with the book at the dive shop is $380. If i do online dive shops drops to $345. PADI online is $183. So I pay $345 + $183 = $528. That is $145 more than the $380. Unless there is some fee to PADI that is in addition to the course at the dive shop?

Thanks for all the replies. I guess I just don't get the $145 price diff for the same thing. Seems odd. If anything online should be cheaper. It probably comes down to the cost split. The school prob pays $35 for the book. Seems like PADI is up charging the online. I am torn. I would...

This was a small place in Belize. They just did not have the staff I think. Part my fault as they said either, I said online, but did not get it done.

Yes the $183 is just theory. Just seems like it is way more than the book. If a skip elearning it is $145 less by my math. The last time I tried to do my advanced they said I could do either. But when I got there they were not happy that I was not done and ready to dive. So I wanted to...

It is the Advanced. It may just be a timing issue. With my flight it is going to be prob 7 pm before I would be there night 1. I am not staying at any resort. My guess is they are out in the boat in the morning and no time to work with me. They said if I do elearning I can do one of the...

Thanks. They are telling me I can go diving a day earlier if I do it online.

I did some searching and could not find it. If I do the Advanced Diver with the school directly it is $380. If I do PADI e-learning they drop that to $345. But the online course at PADI is $183. So where is the the additional $148 from? If I do it online I can dive a day earlier so of...

The 4\3 is actually a Axis X (vs regular Axis) so I went ahead and got that at $107 shipped ($250 msrp). I will let you know when I get it soon, and dive in it in 2 weeks. thanks a lot

So the Drylock is not worth the extra $? I was thinking the better tech may make a 3/2 like a 4/3. But as a rec diver maybe the high end is not worth it. thanks

After much looking I found a good deal on an Xcel. I am going with MT size since I am 6 feet even and 165 to 170. Its a bit hard to tell the difference except for higher price = better stuff. I dive the Caribbean only really but I do run cold. Options in my size Drylock 3\2 $214 Axis 3\2...
