#Tips
- **Be on time.** Do not underestimate driving time. Morning traffic conditions are quite congested and slow moving, especially if you are staying South of Kailua-Kona and driving North to the harbor. It is your responsibility to arrive on time and we reserve the right to leave at our scheduled departure time
- **Waivers MUST be signed in advance. If a physician's release is required and you are unable to provide one, you we will not be able to continue with your course and you will not be refunded**
- **Wear sun-protective clothing instead of sunscreen. Only mineral sunscreens are permitted aboard our vessels. As lovers of the ocean kindly be stewards of the ocean. If we see you using toxic sunscreen you will be asked to put it away.**
- **Bring a reusable water bottle**
- **We reserve the right to refuse service, with no refund, if you have booked and have ignored our expected safety standards outlined on our website and during the reservation process.**
- **We reserve the right to refuse service if we feel it is unsafe for you to participate in this activity for any reason.**
- **We reserve the right to cancel your dives if you are not respectful of the safety guidelines, the reef, and wildlife.**
Diving & Altitude:
The following guidelines are the consensus of attendees at the 2002 Flying After Diving Workshop. They apply to air dives followed by flights at cabin altitudes of 2,000 to 8,000 feet (610 to 2,438 meters) for divers who do not have symptoms of decompression sickness (DCS). The recommended preflight surface intervals do not guarantee avoidance of DCS. Longer surface intervals will reduce DCS risk further.
For a single no-decompression dive, a minimum preflight surface interval of 12 hours is suggested.
For multiple dives per day or multiple days of diving, a minimum preflight surface interval of 18 hours is suggested.
*Keep in mind that many of the roads around the island exceed 2,000ft. It is the diver's responsibility to know the altitude of their accommodations and the routes to get there.*
