1. All students participating in a PADI or SSI diver training programme are required to complete mandatory PADI or SSI course documentation in an honest and reliable manner. Any known medical conditions must be declared and notified to Southsea Scuba prior to the start of any water-based dive course. Failure to declare medical conditions in accordance with the PADI or SSI Medical Declaration form which then later becomes known will result in student suspension from the course until a satisfactory medical certificate has been gained. In the event of a suspension, Fees are not refundable. Southsea Scuba Have sole discretion to suspend a participant if we believe they are unfit to dive.
2. All PADI or SSI Courses require a 50% booking fee in advance and the final payment is due 24 hours before the first day of your course. The receipt of part payment and booking form will release your course materials. Postage will be charged if you require course materials to be sent out. Collection from the centre and e-learning delivery are free.
5. Included within the Course Fee is the following – Course materials as specified by PADI or SSI. Equipment Hire, Air and Cylinder hire, Instruction by a Qualified PADI or SSI instructor or Assistant Instructor. During the colder months, we will endeavour to put all students into dry suits subject to sizing, best fit and availability. For all courses where a dry suit is mandatory (Dry suit, Deep and AOW) if we do not have sufficient stock levels we will cover the hiring cost for a suit at the location of the dive. For courses where a dry suit is not compulsory, students may be kitted in a wetsuit unless an appropriate fitting dry suit is available.
