Class Cost

The investment for the NAUI Open Water Scuba Diving Class is $599, plus tax. 

This is inclusive of the items listed in the ‘What’s Included’ section above.

Class Upgrade Options

NAUI Nitrox Diver – $150, plus tax

During this course, you will learn how to choose the proper blend of Nitrox for your dive profile, determine maximum depth limits for your Nitrox mixture, analyze your breathing mixture, and plan and safely execute each dive. Your instructor will teach you about the advantages, disadvantages, and risks of using nitrox.

 

NAUI DRYSUIT Diver – $259, plus tax (when added to the Open Water class)

Drysuits are nearly a must for diving in the PNW. They increase our comfort and safety while diving in our chilly waters and let us dive all year long. In addition, divers who own drysuits tend to dive a lot more than divers who have to climb into cold wetsuits. Knowing how to dive in a drysuit is essential and having a drysuit certification allows for drysuit rentals.
