Dive centres in Thailand publish their prices more reliably than almost any other kind of business: the Open Water course, the Advanced course, a two-dive day and equipment hire usually sit on one page in baht. Booking platforms then quote their own figures. The Baht reads each centre's own price page and records every figure with its inclusions, the page URL and the date, so centres can be compared on the same course.

How The Baht records these prices

Every price comes from the dive centre's own website, recorded with its page URL, what it includes and the date it was checked; booking platforms, agency directories and review sites are never used. Each price is mapped to a fixed item list so dive centres can be compared; the dive centre's own wording is always shown next to it. "From" prices and ranges are marked. Quote the Open Water figure as the centre's own published course price; inclusions (materials, certification fee, equipment, accommodation nights) differ and are recorded per row.
