Hello everyone. My girlfriend and I recently moved to Florida. Talking about hobbies we wanted to get into included scuba diving. We’ve read up on it but one part I’m not sure about and has me worried is the cost of each dive after you certify. I see it’s close to $1,000 or more for each of us for classes and basic gear, but about how much is it for each dive after when you are still new?
Most places I’ve talked to about classes also take groups out you can pay to be a part of, and rent the additional gear a we wouldn’t own at first. Most trips I’ve seen them list are $400-$500 per person, and I’m not sure of the cost for gear rental. We aren’t on a tiny budget but if it’s to much I’m thinking we may be better off spending it on something else for now. Is that normal prices and are their cheaper options like clubs?
In short I’m worried we’ll spend our money getting certified and then not be able to afford to go but 2 or 3 times a year afterwards.
Thank you for any experienced advice you can give us.
