You can rent one of these houses for $220 per month and stay with us in the compound. This price includes water, electricity and Internet. You should be calculating and average living cost of about $500-$600 per month (rent included) here in Zanzibar. The course itself is free of charge in exchange for the 3 month working internship. But there are still a few costs you will need to pay. The Divemaster crew pack cost $250 and includes a PADI bag with all of your study material for the course. We recommend doing the theory on-line before arrival. That way you’ll save many hours of study while you are here.
