How much does an O2ptima cost?
A better wording of the question might be ‘How much does it cost to switch from an open-circuit diver to an O2ptima CCR diver?’ A complete ready-to-dive O2ptima unit with cylinders, harness and wing is about $8500 and to this you might add: off board bailout about $500, and initial stock of consumables about $300. Training, particularly if travel is required, will be a significant cost. I suggest planning on a total amount from $10,000 to $12,000. These are estimates, the total could be less or more depending on what suitable equipment you already have and what additional equipment you might choose to purchase.
