The professional Traineeship program involves both Pro-Dive Central Coast and its clients, significant investments of time and money. For this reason a number of conditions apply once a booking is made. Like other reputable companies we strive to be open and clear about our obligations.
For example, once a client has enrolled for a program or course commencing upon our published date, a place is reserved at Pro-Dive for that person. At the same time, bookings are made with other parties including Instructors and dive boats. We honour the reservation by not advertising or reselling to another person. Sometimes people have been refused entry onto a program or course, because it is fully booked.
Here at Pro-Dive Central Coast we regard a booking as a firm commitment. Occasionally we know things just happen and changes need to be made.
Please note that your Pro-Dive Central Coast traineeship program does not include scuba equipment hire, however you may hire equipment at Explorer rates. On a traineeship program however, most candidates prefer to have their own equipment. Transport to and from the dive sites is also, not included.
When using your own equipment, standards require that Buoyancy Control Devices be fitted with power inflator and whistle. An emergency signaling device (safety sausages) is to be carried in BCD pockets at all times, as are tables and a slate. Regulators must be fitted with an alternative air source and compass.
Candidates should present themselves with a professional attitude towards both their appearance and their behavior throughout their traineeship program. Whilst the Pro-Dive network can be very helpful in finding employment for successful candidates, no express guarantee of employment is implied by enrolling in a Pro-Dive traineeship program.
I have read the above booking conditions and agree to pay a $100 cancellation/transfer fee for any changes to my reservation within seven days of starting this program.
