Argonaut Diving Terms & Conditions.  Please read carefully!

Classes

Read the schedule before you sign up!  You are responsible to know it!

Note:  PADI version classes have additional fee which reflects our cost including handling of PADI materials.  Argonaut recommends if you have any questions regarding which agency you should pick, call us.  Both SDI and PADI programs are excellent programs and virtually the same.  The cert cards are accepted equally around the world. 

You have one year to complete certification classes unless other arrangements are made.

Swim assessment tests for OW class include a ten-minute tread/float and a 200 yd swim.  For all classes you must be in reasonable shape and cleared by doctor if any "yes" answers on medical questionnaire. 

If you request a transfer, less than twenty-one days before the start of class there is a $300.00 transfer fee. All transfers are subject to availability, assessed ten days prior to the start of class you are trying to transfer into.  Our classes typically sell out each month, so scheduling may be difficult.

Payment or 100% attentance, is not a guarantee of eventual certification.

Attendance in all sessions is required to pass course.  If you are late or miss any session, through no fault of Argonaut Diving, you will be rescheduled to the next available class and charged a transfer fee of $300.00, in addition, you will be responsible for additional rental fees for equipment Argonaut provides (Open Water Classes).  Note, next class time could easily be months in the future and subject to availability assessed ten days prior to class start time (priority given to new students).  Our classes typically sell out each month, so scheduling may be difficult.

Students must complete all SDI or PADI required skills and modules for certification.

For non-scheduled sessions additional fees, including rental fees for equipment, will apply, dependent on pool and staff availability. 

Full refunds are available prior to start of class once all class materials have been returned to Argonaut Diving in original condition, otherwise partial refund  No refunds 21 days prior to start of class.

No refunds available if you fail to pass the class. 

Completed DAN medical questionnaire is required, any affirmative answers will require a doctor's release form before student is allowed into the water.  No exceptions!  Link on class page for review of questions. If we have to reschedule you because of incomplete or no form, transfer fee applies.

100% attendance is required but does not guarantee certification.

All students are required to sign liability release and Assumption of Risk agreement, medical statement.  Any yes answers on medical questionnaire require a doctors signature that you are cleared to dive.  Without this form, we cannot let you in the water.  NO EXCEPTIONS!

Argonaut Diving reserves the right to postpone any classes that do not have minimum number of students to run course.  In the event of postponement, student may opt for refund or for later class date.  No transfer fees in this instance.
