What people usually pay

No standardized visitor-wide recreational scuba permit, national Black Sea marine-park tag or sea-diving tax was verified. Operators set prices for guided dives, courses and boats, and protected sites or ports may require specific authorization. The Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve has a separate official visitor-permit system: 5 RON for one day, 15 RON for a seven-day visit, and 30 RON through year-end, with certain free categories. Boat permits are distinct from passenger access; prices and rules can change.
