PADI - Blood From Stones

Put Another Dollar In. We all joke about that, right? I went to get the
new ex into an open water course. I know the instrokter, and he tells me
to "tell the shop you saw an internet special" and you'll get a deal.

Regular $179.
Special $129.

Rip off! But I sign her up anyway.

Me: So, where are her course materials?
Shop Monkey: Oh yeah. <goes and gets box of stuff>
SM: That will be another $50.
Me: The course materials aren't included in the course fee?
SM: No. They're extra.
Me: Do you charge students for air, too?
SM: No, that's included in the course fee.
Me: So, it's gonna be $180 to take the course?
SM: Yeah.
Me: Some deal.

Land of the $40 dollar snorkle, I guess.

This is the new ex, not to be confused with the old ex.

If it were my wife, I'd tie her to the boat anchor, and drop the bitch
over.

But I do appreciate the sentiment.

Sorry to hear about your experience. It's sounds like a poor operator and
has nothing to do with a PADI, NAUI, SSI, YMCA, or any other organization.
I do like site that another person posted about the

Good luck to your wife.

That's not PADI, that's the shop. Suck you in with a "low" price,
then rape you over a barrel with the add-ons.

Do they charge for equipment rentals?

Go here:

http://www.scuba-training.net/

It lets her do all the academics at home, no materials, no bullshit, no
Seattle traffic.

Then, get with me.

Ade is doing the same thing; soon as we get her academics, we have an
instructor lined up to do the pool and OW work for a cert.

Then, we'll teach them how to dive.

I'm guessing the PIC envelope and passport photo isn't included either so
add another $25 and $10.

No scuba content there, newbie.

We're talking about Jerome's ex.

Pay attention, or have a seat.

Oh, wait, we don't care. Have a seat.
