WEATHER CONDITION

Diving trips may be canceled or rescheduled or re-routed to another dive spot on the day of the excursion date due to weather conditions or technical issues that are not suitable for marine sports activities, such as high waves and strong winds that potentially harms the divers. Dive Site is picked daily based on the weather and the ocean condition.

Diving instructors/Divemasters/Boat captains make a decision about the selection of the dive sites and/or cancellation of the diving trips. In making decisions, they regard your and their own safety as the most important.

The coast of Bali has a mild climate. Occasionally, we do experience weather or water conditions that make diving unpleasant or hazardous. We monitor the weather and water reports daily and will attempt to inform our guests of a possible cancellation as soon as we are able to. As with all outdoor activities, bad weather or water conditions may not be known until the dive day, at the dive site, or even when we are in the water. If we do need to cancel the dive day or re-route to another dive site area. Our dive leaders may also end a dive at any time if they believe the conditions to be potentially unsafe. We do not offer refunds or discounts due to weather, water conditions, or other unforeseen events if it is happening or occurred during or in the middle of the diving activity.

Force Majeure

In a situation where Force Majeure is applied such as thunderstorms, unsafe condition, here are some things we can do.

In the event of heavy thunderstorm or any other weather conditions alike which gets to the point of being dangerous and a decision made by our party (Bali Fun Diving) stating that it is not possible for a trip to be commenced at a certain dive sites with a notice of one day prior to the date of the plan from our party . There are some options in which we can offer:

1. Stick with the initial plan with the chance that the condition might get better on the next day. In the event that the condition is still impossible for marine activity, we will redirect the trip to the nearby dive spots and the cost difference will be returned.
2. A refund of a full amount with a deduction on administrative fees, bank transfer, loss currency (based on our exchange rate), PayPal fees or any transfer method.
3. Reschedule to other date based on our availability.
   confirmation should be made on the same day that the notice is informed.
4. If it happens during your trip, we cannot give refunds as the operational cost has already been paid. In case of situations like this (for example a thunderstorm, huge waves, unsafe current), the dive leader will ask you to wait until the situation is suitable for diving or redirect to another closest dive location.

In the event of heavy thunderstorm or other weather conditions alike which happens during an ongoing trip to the point of being dangerous and a decision made by the dive leader or port authority that a trip cannot be continued or certain dive spots not implausible to be visited at at a certain time, we cannot offer a refund as the operational cost has been expended. In such occasion the dive leader will ask the participants to wait or to redirect to other dive spots nearby which are more appropriate for a marine activity and the cost difference between the destination will be returned with a deduction on administrative fees, bank transfer, loss currency (based on our exchange rate), PayPal fees or any transfer method. A trip can be categorized as ongoing once a pick up from your accommodation has been made.

COVID – 19

1. Trip can be rescheduled due to travel restrictions from your country of residence or in Indonesia, flight cancellation from the airline or possibility of health regulations restricting ability to complete course on intended date.
2. Trip Reschedule can be done within the later of 12 months after a) the intended course date or b) the removal of travel restrictions.

COURSES

If you cannot complete a scheduled course part way through due to ill health, there will be no refund because the program is ongoing and costs have been paid. If the participant happens to be ill or unwell within ONE day before or during your dive course (by sending us a doctor’s medical statement), there will be an extra cost to reschedule your program as we also need to cancel your trip for the next day. Extra cost can vary depending on the dive site/program / course. We never recommend diving if you are feeling unwell.

NOTE On the normal duration of the open water diver course, normally it takes 2 or 3 days (based on the package you chose)to finish, it also depends on the student divers ability.

For some student divers they may add 1 more day of practice in the pool session before they go open water (diving). They might face a problem during their pool session or open water session. Adding 1 more day session will have an extra charge because the price quoted is for 2 or 3 days course duration. Based on your plan.

To be certified, a diver must MASTER and PASSED all the REQUIRED skills in the pool and in open water sessions, also the theory part (academics).

The Instructor has the right to assess, judge, and score the student divers by the Standards. Not meeting the requirements means not being able to be fully certified.

SSI or PADI E-LEARNING

For most courses, there is a theory element to complete knowledge development that includes online training. This online training is compulsory and must be completed BEFORE the start of the course.
If you do not complete the study prior to arriving on the island it may be difficult whilst here due to the limited time and dive program that we already set for you.
You will not be able to start the course if this theory is not completed and we do not refund your deposit.

If the diving times on courses need to be changed by Bali Fun Diving and alternative dates are not suitable, you will only be charged for the proportion of the course you complete. Full terms and conditions details of our individual dive course refund policy are available on request.
