Modest Pricing Increase on some Specialty Courses, Rescue Diver, Master Scuba Diver, & Divemaster 

(effective for all courses or classes with a start date on or after November 1st 2025)

Due to the rising cost of goods, class materials, shipping, and instructor training fees, we had increases last year on our main core courses. This year we will be increasing some of our Specialty Courses and the remaining Core Courses cost for 2025 and going forward. Like last year, these remaining courses with price changes have not had a pricing increase for over 11 years (going back to previous management of Underwater World). 

This modest increase will only affect the remaining Core Courses and many of the Specialty Courses offered by us as listed below. There will be NO increase on any course price that was increased last year or any other services provided by us at this time. If a course or service is NOT listed below, that course or service will not be impacted by these pricing changes.

Some of the courses listed below will see a modest price increase between $20-$50, despite some course expenses exceeding this increase. We must remain competitive within the industry, and this increase allows us to do just that while not breaking the bank for our customers.

The Divemaster Course is the one exception to our pricing increase structure. This course has been significantly underpriced for many years and will increase by $125 this year and going forward. The reality is, the Divemaster Course is a professional level course which takes serious commitment by both the students and instructors teaching it. The Divemaster Course typically starts around $1100 and prices can be as high as $1500. We believe that while we do need to increase our cost for this particular course, we are committed to keeping price increases far and few between and with as small of an increase as reasonable to remain profitable.

While we are listing our 'Standard Class' cost per participant for each Course affected, all Semi-Private and Private Classes will continue to be priced at at additional $50 and $100 per student respectively.
