#Unless you have extensive experience on a boat on the ocean, we STRONGLY advise students to plan and prepare a SEASICKNESS PREVENTION STRATEGY.
Top tips: Avoid spicy/greasy foods the day before and day of your boat trip, consider seasickness preventative medications (use as directed or consult your medical provider for questions on dosage), STAY HYDRATED and follow advice from the crew!
This email serves as additional notice to students enrolled in a scuba diving course with Sea Dwellers Dive Center that ALL scuba instruction courses conducted by Sea Dwellers involve a MANDATORY swim test administered upon entry into the pool session of the course. The test is administered in accordance with minimum course requirements and standards from both SSI and PADI to ensure student safety. All scuba students must be comfortable in the water, and not pose a danger to themselves or to those around them both in the pool training sessions and in the ocean during the open water portion of the course; as well as ensuring students possess the minimum level of ability to affect self-rescue in the water in the event of an emergency. Each student MUST successfully demonstrate the ability to swim continuously for a total of 200 meters without stopping, without touching the bottom or sides of the pool and without use of a floatation device as well as be able to successfully complete a survival float for 10 continuous minutes either by treading water or floating on their back keeping nose and mouth above the water while not touching the bottom or sides of the pool and without use of a floatation device. In the event that any student is unable to successfully meet the minimum requirements the Instructor has discretion to grant an additional attempt on the basis of reasonable expectation for success with re-attempt. If a student’s demonstration of skills and ability during the first attempt were inadequate or unsafe enough that there is no reasonable expectation of success on re-attempt, the Instructor has the right to deny a second attempt. If for ANY reason, a student is unable to successfully meet the minimum requirements during a second attempt, our Instructors reserve the right to disqualify that student from continuing in the course for their own safety as well as for the safety of others in the water including the Instructor. The Instructor may grant permission to disqualified students to join the boat trip and enter the water as a snorkeler with additional safety measures required such as use of pool noodle in conjunction with holding onto the tagline on the boat IF the student demonstrated an ability to swim somewhat but not quite enough to meet the course requirement or permission may be granted to join the trip as a bubble watcher (rider) and remain on the boat at all times. If additional safety measures are required by the instructor for the student, the Captain and Mate will be notified and will ensure those measures are followed or entry into the water will be prohibited. There will be no refund or rain check provided for the difference in cost between the course and transitioning to a snorkeler/bubble watcher.
All students indicate during enrollment whether online or when making reservations by phone that they are able to meet the minimum requirements of the swim test as well as agreeing to Sea Dwellers terms and conditions. We have a duty and obligation to ensure student safety as well as an obligation to comply with SSI and PADI training agency standards for Instruction. If a student is not able to successfully complete each REQUIRED portion of the course they will NOT be permitted to progress to the next step and there will be no refunds. Yes, scuba diving is supposed to be a fun activity and we understand many of our guests are here on vacation. No, we will not compromise anyone’s safety, jeopardize our business, or risk the livelihood of our entire crew by violating the safety standards we are required to follow. Nor will we issue a refund for students that are not able to successfully complete the course. For Discover Scuba Courses specifically, once the course commences at check in, no refunds will be issued for any reason that is not specifically provided for in Sea Dwellers terms, conditions and cancellation policy and services will be considered rendered. Completion of the entire experience and course is entirely dependent on each student’s ability to successfully complete each required portion. In the event that a student is unsuccessful at completing the course and opts to initiate a dispute with their financial institution to try to circumvent this policy, this document will be presented essentially as “Exhibit A” along with all of the confirmation & reminder emails, all acknowledgements checked on the booking forms and indicated in the waivers signed.
If you actually read all of this, consider us impressed and you have earned yourself a crisp high five when you check in, just let us know you earned it!
We are SO excited to meet you and spend some time with you teaching you to blow bubbles in the most magical environment in the world. We simply can’t wait and are thrilled that you have chosen to join us for what we hope will become some of the most incredible memories of your lives!!!
