Price breakdown & assumptions

  • Base priceUSD 550
  • Marine park entrance fee, per diving day (non-East-African adult)USD 10
  • All-in estimateUSD 560

$550 including e-learning, all equipment and hotel transfer. Not included: the Zanzibar marine park entrance fee, $10 per non-East-African adult ($5 for children up to 15; $5 for East African residents), charged per person per diving day at all of Pole Pole's dive sites (confirmed by the owner, 7 Oct 2026). It applies per diving day, so the all-in shown counts it once as a minimum. Booking at least 10 days ahead (no prepayment, free cancellation) gets the early-booking price: $500.
