We are transparent with our course prices - avoiding hidden costs 
RECREATIONAL COURSES:
All PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water Diver courses include required manuals & materials, certification, basic equipment & suit hire*, air fills, pool and student boat fees for harbour dives. Our Specialties 2012 Campaign of £95 per-day per-diver is inclusive of basic equipment & suit hire*, manuals and certification but students cover their own boat fees and cylinder fills. *Due to comfort and hygiene reasons we do not provide neoprene boots, masks and snorkels which can be purchased at a student discount of 10% from the shop.
TECHNICAL COURSES:
All TDI and PADI technical courses are inclusive of manual and certification on successful completion. All courses up to (normoxic) trimix also include any required twinset, wings, regulator(s), stage bottle(s) rental fees. Students on all levels of technical courses are expected to meet their own boat fees and gas fills as required for that course. Instructor boat fees for offshore dives are shared by students at cost. (In this context off-shore is any dive site outside of the range of Portland Harbour dives). On mixed gas courses, instructor gas fills are also shared among students with prior arrangement. For price inclusions on GUE courses please check with the centre or your instructor.
1-TO-1 TRAINING:
For rescue trained divers, 1-to-1 exclusive training is offered at only 50% above the advertised course price where instructor off-shore boat fees and any relevant mixed or decompression gas fills are also covered by the trainee. For divers who are not rescue qualified, arrangements can also be made for 1-to-1 training but please contact us for details.
