Tip: Download the form early so you have time to visit a doctor if needed.

✈️ The "No-Fly" Rule

Remember the physiological limits of diving! You must wait at least 18 to 24 hours after your last dive before flying in an airplane. Please plan your travel itinerary accordingly so you don't miss your flight or your dives.

🌊 Weather & Conditions

Diving is an outdoor activity subject to Mother Nature.

If conditions are unsafe (high winds or heavy swells), we may reschedule your dives or offer an alternative site.

If we have to cancel the course entirely due to weather, you will receive a full refund or a flexible rebooking option.
