I was even told that i could just do a dive (the dive quest) at Disneys Epcot that the DMs are all over you to make sure you are doing everything right... this was from someone that works at the living seas and used to work as one of the divers (not sure if he was a DM or not)...
I'm with DMWiz on this one. Spend your money on gear and you will dive more. Find a DM or local group to hook up with. $200 for a refreher? WOW thats nuts if you ask me. For that kind of money, where you are, you could take a weekend full on OW course.
