Everything is weighed, I don't know how strict they are with charging excess weight as we were well under. But at least they are very strict with getting it weighed

It seems to me the Scuba Diving prices here and at W Maldives are the exact same. Maybe it's the same company they contract it out too?
Has anyone actually gone Scuba Diving and priced it out? It seems obvious enough, but what would the prices be, say for two dives after tax? Can someone confirm if I did this correctly below:
2 x Single Dive = $160
Double Dive Boat Fee = $35
Full Set of Equipment Rental = $50 (because doing two dives?!)
15 liter cylinder = $20 (because doing two dives? Or is this included with full equip rental)
$132.50 per dive + 22% service charge = $323.30 for two dives?

Comparisons to W and Four Seasons: - We really liked the W, and want to go back someday. I recall it having a "cooler" and younger vibe, less families, and they had free ice cream on the jetty (at least they used to). However, i think the St. Regis has the W beat (assuming same price). The St Regis has better food options, better snorkeling (now), and fantastic butler service.-

If you are over you just get charged a few bucks I think $5.60/kg so no big deal. I mean don't bring gold bars or anything but a few kgs heavy is fine.
