Paid 300 for the entire padi open water course; and that was for two, my dad and I. We also had to pay 70 each for materials though (book and forms to fill out for padi), so in total 440, but still a great price. The trick: Groupon.

Did my PADI elearning course online, roughly 160$. The open water diver course itself was around 450$. Course completed in 3 days landing at 610$ in total. This was done at a local dive shop in Kos, Greece and not in the US.

Great information on cost of dive certification & gear that someone new to diving should know. Glad I watched this cause it's much more economical than I'd invisioned.

in Southern California I got quoted a price of 770 🤯

Thank youu :) I’m from Michigan but this was still really helpful, much more affordable than I thought it’d be! I can’t wait

So excited to take my PADI Open Water course in March!!!

Advice good for USA/Canada only, different requirements exist around rhe world !!!

Great video ...!!

I'm from muskegon, Michigan and have been thinking this would be a fun hobbie. And to be honest I have a slight fear of water so I figured this would be a good way to get over it. Thanks for letting me know it won't be to terribly expensive.

Casey, Thanks for putting this info together. I found it useful.

Thanks for the rec on Toucan Dive. I was looking for a shop in the area to start learning with while listening to the video. Perfect timing? 🤔

Y'know I may have actually found a piece of a unsafe diver because I was at the beach lost my goggles found a pair of google and they were like professional glass goggles and when the plastic ones I was using then broke the glass ones that I found still work to this day

i am a pro scuba driver and i learn scuba driving by myself i only pay for equipment i didn't pay for diving instructor

Great video. I’ve had interest in this for some time now.

Padi $195.00 e-training $150.oo Pool session Open water dive/final dive $385.00 Now that's if everything is done locally If you want to get a hotel room or if you buy food,renting gear,,, ect.ect. That's extra

Great video Casey. I'm wondering if I should start diving as a hobby because I have an interest in it and need to look at financial feasability. This video helps with laying the groundwork

Great video! I was pretty distracted by Scuba Steve in the mirror though lol

Paid over the equivalent of over 605 dollars and PADI won't issue cards after I complained of sexual harassment and poor training to padi corporate. Took both OWD and AOWD. Passed both classes according to instructor and issued paper cards and PIC envelopes.

Thank you for the information sir

Thanks Casey. Good info.

What a good video, thanks for posting.

I just paid 169.99 for my open water course and did it online. Then went and bought a wetsuit, mask, snorkel, BCD, regs, and tanks. And didn’t pay for my certification because my dad is an instructor lol. But in all honesty a comfortable range is about 1500-1700 dollars

thanks for this video

Nice vid and I was just wondering do you have to buy the oxygen tank and all of the technical equipment.👌🏻

Hey mate, do you have to be a certain age to get into diving? I live in NZ and I'm only 17 but I'm really interested in getting into it!

My course with gear cost me around $800

Thanks

I know this is an older video, but I thought id try my question. Do scuba stores offer package deals? If so, would it only be certain brands or items? Im getting ready to lay out $3-4k in gear. Is there wiggle room for them in cost?

will they allow me to buy fins goggles and a snorkel at wal-mart

Your prices are pretty spot on,

I would go there it's just an Hour and 7 minutes away

Thanks alot

when i was 14 years old i asked my mother to take me to a dive shop so that i could learn scuba diving but when we got there the guy that owned the dive shop said to me to learn scuba diving you must sign your name but i refused to because i hated my name so much so i lost out on scuba diving i also lost out on 2 dozen other once in a life time activities because i refused to sign my name on those activities as well i have now changed my old name to a new name now that i have a new name it doe's not bother me one bit that i lost out on scuba diving and 2 dozen other once in a life time activities any one else that wants to learn scuba diving do not do it because you will be asked to sign your name like i was asked to the guy told me to learn scuba diving you must sign your name but i refused to do so.

750 then you have a certificate and no gear and have to spend 2 more grand to go yourself awfully thot out video

Did I just come across a cult?
