How Much Does It Cost to Get Scuba Certified in Houston?

You can get scuba certified at Woodlands Dive Center for $449 or $649, depending on how you buy your personal gear. That's the class price. A few small costs sit on top of it.

Here's the whole picture, so nothing surprises you.

The class price

$649 if you don't buy your personal gear from us
$449 if you do (that's $200 off)

Your personal gear is a mask, snorkel, boots and fins. You want these to fit you well, and you'll use them on every dive after the class.

What the class includes

The SSI Digital Kit for your online learning
Classroom and pool sessions in our indoor heated pool
Open water checkout dives
Your digital certification card
Free Nitrox when you sign up for Open Water Diver

The big gear is covered too. We provide the tank, BCD, regulator, computer, wetsuit and hood for the class.

What costs extra

Your open water dives happen over a weekend. You pick from Mammoth Lake, Blue Lagoon or Spring Lake. These sites charge entry fees on top of your class price. Spring Lake's fee is $50 and is seasonal.

Ask us about the current entry fee for the site you want when you sign up.

Is the gear deal worth it?

If you plan to keep diving, yes. You need those four items anyway, and the $200 savings makes the gear cost a lot less. If you aren't sure you'll dive again, you can still take the class at $649. Rental is also an option. See our rental prices.

How long does it take?

You do your online learning first, then 3 to 4 days of classroom and pool time, then 4 to 5 open water dives over a Saturday and Sunday. New classes start every Monday and Friday.

Who can take it?

Ages 10 and up. If your child is 13 or under, check our kids classes.
