    How Much Does a Dive Trip Cost?

    Dive trip costs vary enormously depending on destination. Southeast Asia offers incredible value - you can dive world-class sites in Thailand or the Philippines for $25-40 per dive with accommodation from $15/night. The Caribbean and Maldives are at the other end, with dive costs of $60-80+ and premium accommodation.

    Ways to Save Money

    • Multi-dive packages - most dive shops offer 5 or 10 dive packages at a discount
    • Own gear - saves $10-20 per dive on rental, and pays for itself after 30-40 dives
    • Shoulder season - travel just outside peak season for lower prices and fewer crowds
    • Liveaboards - can be better value than resort-based diving when you factor in accommodation and food
    • Book direct - dive shops often offer better rates when you book directly rather than through a resort

    Budget Destinations for Divers

    The Philippines, Indonesia (Bali, Komodo), Thailand (Koh Tao), Egypt's Red Sea, and Honduras (Utila, Roatán) consistently rank as the world's best-value dive destinations. You can dive daily, eat well, and sleep comfortably for under $50-70/day in all of these places.
