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. Where a dive centre publishes several prices for one item, its cheapest counts here and the rest are on its page. Corrections: editorial@thebaht.com.
