It's not to bad...If you find a LDS...Local Dive Store that rents gear, you can often buy the rental gear...it is like new for a very discounted price...also you can get some great gear on line.... It is worth the effort...Diving is amazing!!!

What does it cost to get certified Ron? Diving is something I have always wanted to take up. I did a pool dive in Hawaii years and years ago, and it's been under my skin ever since.

Here in the west you can get your PADI OW Cert... "Open Water" Certification including both your pool dives, classroom work, and open water for $275.00-$300.00.... Remember that is life time cert...

Then over time if you want you can go for more advanced certification...but you don't have to...you are able to dive most open water areas with the open water cert level....
