Outing safety

One canonical page, linked from every intake, every departure and every confirmation email. Training and diving have separate rules, because a pool session under signal 3 is a different decision from a boat leaving the pier.

Who decides, and by when

A boat departure is called by 06:00 on the day by the duty instructor, and you get a message either way. A pool or classroom session is called by 17:00 the evening before wherever the forecast allows it.

Rescheduling a missed session

Pick any equivalent session on any intake in the next 90 days, from your account. You do not need to speak to anyone, and there is no fee — this is a promise the booking system models, not a goodwill gesture.

Refunds or dive coupons

Weather cancellations return dive coupons to your account balance the same day, never a card refund. Course fees are not refunded for weather because the course is not cancelled — the session is moved.

If you cancel

Local dives: amendments to 2 working days before; same-day cancellation or a no-show forfeits the dive coupon. Trips: deposit is non-refundable once the operator is paid, balance at 45 days. All of it is stated at checkout, not buried here.
