If you think diving is what you’d like to do in your spare time, perhaps it’s only a good idea if you feel fairly passionate about it, as training can be quite pricey. Courses can range anything from R800 to R1 600 each. Then, you will also need to purchase diving equipment. Basic equipment ranges from about R1 500 to
R3 000.
