Refund Policy
There is no charge if the captain calls off the trip due to bad weather or unsafe conditions. You will be refunded in full (minus credit/debit card fees). Safety is the primary goal. We cannot guarantee good visibility or weather conditions. The captain will try to make a definite decision a day or two before the trip, so that travel plans can be canceled if necessary. There are no refunds for seasickness or if you choose not to dive.
Special Considerations

- *We do 1 long dive each day (Your run time is up to you).
