STUDENT RESCHEDULE AND CANCELLATIONS

To maintain reasonable pricing for the certification classes, and to promote respect and fairness to your fellow freedivers' time and efforts, we have a strict cancellation policy:

• A cancellation two or more weeks prior to a class-refund of the tuition fee minus $25 administration fee.

• A cancellation less than 10 days before the class- No refund, but credit for a future class with $50 administration fee.

• A cancellation less than 72 hours before the class / NO SHOW - No refund, No credit except with proof of a medical or family emergency; in such a case, credit for a future class is allowed with $50 administration fee.

• Any lost paypal fee’s due to cancellation and refund are the responsibility of the student.

• There are times when it is not safe to dive due to adverse weather conditions (like thunderstorms, strong winds, extreme temperatures, etc.) When a class is canceled due to weather or other circumstances beyond Awareness Freediving Instructor control, we will try our best to accommodate dates and times for the next session according to the needs of our students. However, we cannot be held responsible for any additional costs you may have incurred through accommodation, transportation, gas etc.).

• Moving dates (Illness, bereavement, transport, changed your mind etc): If you need to move your course within a month of the course start date, and you do not want to accept the cancellation policy, we will endeavor to move your dates free of charge. This will be at our discretion and on our terms. We will not be able to give you a date in advance, it may be 48 hrs before, as we will have already incurred costs for the date you could not attend and by booking you a course date ahead of time we will loose a paid space on that course. We may not be able to move the date and if we do it may not be during the current season.

• Deposits: All deposits are non-refundable. By choosing to place deposit you are agreeing to commit to the course/holiday, and we will have changed our sales schedule because of that. Sometimes we may have already used that deposit to pay for some element of your training.
