It seems a little high.

hi there. i emailed an acquaintance (momentarily back in canada) who used to work for a dive shop in subic. he thinks that is about the right price (but obviously every shop is different on price and number of dives and, i quote, "some nitrox courses don't require any dives at all"). he of course wanted to know which shop you are going to and mentions that he thinks 9000 pesos is what his dive shop offers for nitrox which amounts to a little less than $250 ($218 to be exact at today's exchange rate). just say if you want the url to that shop if only to compare deals. happy new year!
