Divers must hold Open Water certification and have dived within the past two years. Minimum age is 10; ages 10–11 require a private guide and ages 12–17 must dive with a parent or guardian. Not suitable for pregnant guests or those with heart, neck, or back conditions.
When booking, please use the notes section to provide the diver’s full name, date of birth, scuba certification level, the date and location of their most recent dive, and whether you need rental equipment or will bring your own.
Full payment is due at booking. Free cancellation up to 72 hours before departure; courses require 1 week. No refunds for cancellations within 72 hours, late arrivals, or no-shows. Operator may cancel for weather, ocean conditions, passenger count, mechanical issues, or safety and will refund or reschedule.
Bring proof of Open Water certification (or higher) and make sure you have dived within the past 2 years. If it has been more than 2 years since your last dive, book a refresher option; longer gaps require additional training (more than 5 years: PADI ReActivate; more than 10 years: take the Open Water course again).
Show your dive card (physical or electronic) before boarding. If you can’t provide proof of certification, you won’t be allowed to dive and you won’t receive a refund.
You must be in good health with no heart conditions. This trip is not suitable if you are pregnant or have neck or back injuries. You also need to dive with a computer, converse in English, and stay with a dive group without needing more attention than a typical guided dive.
