Thank you for sharing! Doesn’t seem as bad 👌

Thanks for the video! I start my PADI cert this weekend in a confined pool and will be doing my open water the following weekend in Monterey. Not gonna lie.. I have crazy anxiety thinking about all the stuff that can go wrong but your video definitely eased my mind a bit. Looks way cool!

May I asked the total amount you spent including all thats not included in the package? thank you

[@MarvinLuong]

@@jeffersondelrosario8345 great question! i was able to use a groupon, but online classes and regular class fees were about $500. i ended up buying some gear (fins, boots, gloves, mask, snorkel) which came out to about another $300

[@jeffersondelrosario8345]

Are you a certified scuba diver and who is your dive buddy

[@MarvinLuong]

I am certified! Dive buddies are not really assigned, its based off of where/when you go diving.
I plan on going to Hawaii to scuba dive myself. At the dive shop, I'll meet up with other divers and find a dive buddy there
