Price breakdown & assumptions

This is the operator's stated price. Ask about park fees, gear rental, or other extras when you message them.

$497 USD base course fee, covering personalized PADI instructor time and dive gear. The page lists mandatory add-ons not folded into the base price: a PADI manual (+$1580 MXN) and PADI certification/PIC processing (+$960 MXN), plus the general note elsewhere on the site that the $225 MXN/day Marine Park fee is excluded from all posted prices. These MXN-denominated fees aren't converted into estimatedAllIn since the page gives no USD figure and the course spans a variable number of diving days.
