关于 KOH TAO上面潜水学校的价格问题

最近在网上和KOH TAO上面的多家潜水店联系过了，几乎没有一家答应团购有任何优惠，都只是把关注点放在了住宿和教学质量上了。

比如下面几条回复：

All course prices include crew packs (manuals and tables), there are no
additional costs involved.
If you do an advanced course after your OW we will discount the AOW course and
any fun dives will be charged at a lower rate.
Unfortunately we do not offer any group discount.

OW     9800 Baht
AOW     8500 Baht less 10% works out to 7650 Baht
Fun Dives   800 Baht (normally 900 Baht)
Bungalows we can discount 50 Baht of per night while doing the courses.

For diving, I am pleased to send herewith our pricelist and dive information
for your leisure study. We operate 2 dive trips a day i.e. 7.00 and 13.00
hrs, each trip will be 2 dives. The cost is Baht2,000/trip. In brief, you
will pay Baht9800/person for Open Water (4 day course) and Baht8300/person for Advanced Open Water course. If you do 2 courses in a row, we will give you 10% discount for the 2nd course. The prices are controlled by the Koh Tao Dive Operator Club, so all dive centers on the islands will have to sell dive courses at the same prices. We offer the same prices to dive students but we concentrate more only the quality and services including dive boats, dive equipment.

With this, we will give you accomadation at the discounted price of 200baht per night (usually 500baht per night) for 4 nights, in a fan room, or 500baht per night for air con for 4 nights (usually 1000baht per night). The advanced course costs 8,500baht, which we will give to you with a 10% discount, costing you 7,650baht. We will also give you a futher 3 nights discounted accomadation. Altogether for open water and advanced, including 7 nights accomadation in a fan room, the cost would be 18,850 baht.

上面是三家不同的潜水店给的回复。还有一家是doyouhike的老朋友。通过朋友介绍给出了15％的折扣，是8330B，大概210USD，我想这是可能拿到的低价了。

学费会涨的原因据说是因为PADI不再认可学员借教材，也就是说任何PADI认证都要求学员购买一套教材，而以前教材是可以租的，这是涨价的部分原因。

基本上，我个人已经决定去拿家潜水店，因为再多出5%折扣的小小钱，在我心理是顶不过good reputation的。
