What should be included in the price?
Before comparing, check whether the price includes full equipment, tank, weights, guide, briefing, insurance, certification when applicable, logistics and sea-condition change policy 🌊. Two similar prices may not include the same things.
FED Tip: do not choose only the lowest price. In diving, the local center’s quality, attention, equipment, group size and clarity before booking can matter more than saving a few euros.
