I’m doing it for my senior project and i want to see how much money i need to raise before January. Anything will help!! Also, if anyone lives in the Auburn/Grass Valley California area and knows of a great place to learn how to scuba, that would be great help also.
The class usually costs ~$100. You also pay for the boat trips which are about $50. You’ll want to buy your own mask, snorkel, and fins which’ll be about $75. Then there’s equipment rental which is about $30 each time. All told, to get certified, you’re looking at around $400+. What you is lookup some local dive shops and call around. Oftentimes they’ll have package deals which may save you a bit.
Also, be sure to ask what certification you’ll be getting. I’d recommend YMCA or NAUI certification over PADI because you will learn more which equates to becoming a safer diver.

The average cost is $200-300, but there might be special student rates. Wherever you go, be sure it is either a PADI or a NAUI certified course. These are good courses and are recognized internationally.
