Hi All,
I'm curious about the various prices I am charged for Padi courses. I recently completed an enriched air course. The on-line portion was $300 and then my dove shop charged me another $300. The online portion seems reasonable considering the information presented, however I feel $300 for a 2 hour class composed mainly of chit-chat followed to be shown how to use an oxygen sensor somewhat pricey. Just wondering what other dive shops charge. I really feel I'm getting ripped off. As an example, my wife and daughter were quoted a price for an advanced course which was to include equipment rental. They ended up providing their own equipment and were informed that the price was going to be the same.
