APPROXIMATE COST

The cost of the courses can vary according to the Club, Center or Instructor and according to what is included within the course. The more expensive courses normally include things such as diver insurance, the cost of the medical checkout and the hotel stay in the place of the open water tests. Also, the price of the courses is influenced by the number of students. Normally, courses with more students tend to be more economic, while private or semi private courses logically are more expensive.
