Your safety is our top priority! To ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable diving experience, we have a strict policy regarding alcohol consumption:
- No Alcohol or Drugs Before Diving: Please refrain from consuming any alcohol or drugs before diving. These substances can impair your judgment, reaction time, and coordination, significantly increasing the risk of accidents underwater.
This includes marijuana, even in locations where it may be legal.
- No Alcohol or Drugs Between Dives: If you have multiple dives scheduled in a day, including night dives, please avoid alcohol and drugs between those dives.
This policy is in place to protect your well-being and ensure a safe diving environment for everyone. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!
We understand that mistakes happen! However, our priority is the safety of all divers, and our strict no-alcohol policy is in place for that reason.
Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds if you consume alcohol and are unable to dive.
Here's why:
- Preparedness: We prepare for each dive in advance, including staffing and equipment allocation.
