Most stores offer 2 or 3 different price options depending upon your requirements. Generally it costs around R2000 for your course. This includes all course material, gear hire and dives, but will vary depending upon what's offered on your course.

Some dive stores offer accommodation with weekends away (these are a great opportunity get to know your fellow students and unwind). Others include extra dives or dives from a boat, which could change the price. We thoroughly recommend going for a boat dive - there's no better way to discover the fascinating underwater world than from the comfort of a dive boat.

Either way, you're guaranteed a great time.

Once you're qualified, gear hire will cost between R50 and R250 for a day and a refill for your tank is about R25. As for your gear, you can spend as much as you want.
