cost & Equipment

This course requires both knowledge development and inwater training for certification. When you purchase PADI eLearning from our website, the cost covers the knowledge development portion only.

There is an additional cost to complete your certification with a PADI Instructor. The cost depends on class size, environment, and whether or not you need to rent equipment. Contact a PADI Dive Center or Resort for more information and pricing. 

In addition to basic scuba equipment, you’ll use various surface marker buoys and floats with lines and reels. A surface marker buoy (SMB) is important safety equipment – no matter where you dive. Consider buying one prior to your course so you can practice using it and become familiar with how it works.
