[net.rec.scuba] beginners cost 653 a

sjg (04/28/83)

     I have been wanting to get into scuba diving for some time now
and have finally found a  class I'll be able to take.  The course
costs $125 for 6 weeks (4 hrs once a week) and an additional $40
for 3 ocean checkout dives.  
        What I would like to know is are these costs reasonable
and will I be incurring other costs besides masks, fins, & snorkels.

               			Any help greatly appreciated,
