Cost Of Scuba Diving Cozumel

By Stephen Kennedy


Scuba diving does not come cheap. In fact, it is quite an expensive adventure sport. You have to prepare yourself to invest underwater so before even starting you have to be sure that you are willing to commit. However, the experiences that underwater will give you are priceless. You have to understand that the cost of underwater diving is segmented into three parts. These are Underwater Diving lessons and underwater diving Certification Costs, scuba diving Cozumel Equipment and the actual Dives.

Firstly let us take a look as to why most plunging accidents occur. Well, according to statistics, most plunging deaths occur to divers who are not properly trained. Either due to lack of knowledge to handle their underwater equipment or because of a lack of understanding on the effects of diving in deep water.

Be prepared to pay around $1,400 to $2,000. However, if you expect to dive only a few times a year, then maybe renting is the wiser choice for you to go. If you intend to dive regularly, buying is the only option. Why? Because of all renting is costly. Costs vary from about $30 to $60 for a two tank dive.

If you're searching for an underwater plunging school or class, start by asking friends and family, or try asking at your local YMCA or community center. Find out what the course you're considering has to offer, and if possible make sure that the instructor is fully certified to teach underwater plunging. It's important to get both the best and the safest underwater plunging training you can get.

Always dive with someone who has far more experience than you. This is especially the case if you are a beginner to plunging. Two or more beginner, underwater divers, going on their own is an ingredient for disaster. Get the necessary skills by learning from other who is more proficient. If you were to dive frequently, you will maintain your proficiency and will gradually build up your experiences and capabilities.

The next piece of equipment which is mandatory in underwater is the buoyancy compensator device commonly known as a BCD. This equipment is essential to regulate your buoyancy while underwater. Expect to pay around $500 for a good one.

Equipment is the underwater tank. These range in about $200 to $300 however; the cost of renting the tank is about the same as having your tanks filled which is approximate $6 to $8. So, in this case, it might be wise just to rent them out. The next part of your underwater equipment is your mask, snorkel, and fins. The costs for a good mask ranges about $50 to $70, a snorkel about $30, while a good pair of fins ranges from $60 to $100.

The most important factor when it comes to plunging safety is that you take proper care of the equipment which is taking care of you when you are submerged. Repair your scuba kit at least annually and maintain your gear in good condition. If you own scuba tanks, then it is best to pressure tested them every 5 years.
