Minimum Numbers

A minimum of two people are required to start a course. If we haven’t got minimum numbers seven days before the course starts we will notify you. You’ll have the choice to:

• Pay the difference to receive one on one personal tuition
• Move to the next available course
• Receive a credit to be used on goods and or services at Scuba World

Additional Training

Enrolling in a course doesn’t guarantee a certification. You’ll be required to pass all the skills in the course. This will be determined by your Instructor. You may be charged additional fees to gain your certification.

If you can’t complete all the skills required in the pool you’ll be required to complete a make-up session in our on-site pool. This will be charged at $30/hour (normally $90/hour).

Ocean Dives

The ocean training component of your course is weather dependent (and may be cancelled). Please be aware that you may not finish the program on the scheduled days. Back-up ocean training dates have been scheduled in the event of cancelled training. Check with Scuba World for exact dates.

Additional ‘Make Up’ Dives

Make up dives may be required for the following reasons:

• If you get sea sick while on our boat
• You’re unable to clear your ears
• You’re unable to complete the ocean dives due to unexpected commitment/s

N.B. Each make up dive will be charged at $50. Make up dives will be scheduled to be completed in the next available course.

Course Completion

Your course must be completed within six months of sign up (excludes any special promotions with conditions specified). If not you’ll have to start a new course and pay the full price.

Complaints

If you have a complaint, make the manager aware of this on the day so the issue can be resolved promptly.
