Is learning to dive expensive?
Not really. Expense is a relative term and actual costs will vary depending on where you live, what kind of course you are taking, and what kind of equipment you want to buy. Most dive center instructors will want you have good quality fins, mask and snorkel. Buy good equipment, it will last for years. The dive center instructor can suggest what equipment you will need for training and fill you in on the lesson cost. Before beginning your dive training, sit down with your instructor, work out a schedule, and determine costs for everything. This way you’ll know the cost beforehand, and your new enthusiasm won’t be spoiled by an unplanned, unknown monetary surprise.
