Question How much does it cost to get fully qualified

How much would someone expect to spend in order to gain full certification as a diver?

How much is spent is depended on the shop choosen and location. To give a general idea for US north at least $500. You will pay for your classes, gear(mask, fins and snorkel sometimes booties), then there are quarry fees and open water rental.

Some shops will have a full package price and others will split the cost. Again be a good shopper and ask questions.
