How much does it cost?
That’s actually up to you
The good news is that how much you will spend learning to scuba dive with Harry’s Dive Shop is largely up to you. You have control over factors such as whether you want to take a private or group class, or where and how you complete your open-water training dives. All these factors have a direct bearing on how much you spend.
Our course fees cover all of the following:
- Digital self-study materials
- All in-water instruction
- Use of tanks, regulators and BCs in the pool
- Digital certification card following open-water training
A plastic, photo-ID certification card, if desired, is available for $25.
