It was $250-350 per dive, and you need 4 dives to get the certificate. Maybe I read it wrong. I know my cousin took the course a few years back and it was $1200. It was all done in a large swimming pool, and not outside. If I can do it locally in Saskatoon for cheap like that I will, but I dunno about diving in the river at -30!

Ogden Point in Vic is offering Open Water for $400 right now http://www.divevictoria.com/

I got mine for $300 in Prince George by Blue H2O Sports. Considering how bad I was at maintaining my buoyancy, how fast I went through my air and how clumsy I was starting out I'd definitely recommend getting your certification before going so that you can spend more of your vacation vacationing rather than schooling.

Thanx for that. That's 100 clams cheaper than "the other guys" in town.
