Booking and Cancellation Policy
Cancellations made 5 days or more in advance of the Dive/Course/intro program date will receive a 100% refund. Cancellations made within 2 days will receive a 50% refund. Cancellations made within 24 hours will not receive a refund.
Dropping Out
-Cancellation of multiple dives / trips
If you already paid for multiple dives for a day (2 dives) and decided to do less dives (at the dive site), you do not get refund
-There is no refund for unused portions of a package or canceling part of a package once it has already started. (Dives/classes canceled due to the boat not going out, bad weather or mechanical failure are subject to refunds)
Certification Courses
We do not refund your course fee if you decided to drop out from your certification course after it has started. Dropping the course before it starts is subject to the above listed refund policy. When paying for a course you do not pay for certification, you pay for training- you must meet the requirements for your particular course to earn certification. It is possible to fail a course; failure does not qualify you for a refund.
Your instructor will determine if you can get certified or not, judging how you are meeting the requirements for your particular course (skill demonstration, comfort level in the water, and total dive skills) and your score on written examination and quizzes
Evaluation
If you do not follow your instructors’ directions, or if you cannot successfully demonstrate the skills that meet the requirement, you may not get certified. If you disagree with your instructor’s evaluation of your diving skills you can request a reevaluation by the Training Director or another “X-Ta-Sea divers” instructor. All students who do not earn certification in a course will be provided with a written explanation of why they were not certified.
Rental/Loaned Gear Loss or damage
Rented/loaned gear for class and dives is the responsibility of the client – you will be charged for loss or damage of rental gear. Divers dunking a regulator with the dust cap off will be charged a €80 maintenance fee as the reg needs to be serviced before putting it back in use. Please be careful with the gear we loan out to you.
Torn mouthpieces or broken fin/mask straps are not subject to replacement fees as this is a part of normal wear and tear of the gear. If you notice your mouthpiece or mask/fins straps are worn let us know so we change them right away so there is not a problem.
