Before your activity/course
Freediving Sri Lanka will contact you via WhatsApp during the days prior to your course or training to provide all information. You can contact us on WhatsApp +972503310080 with any questions prior to your course or training.
The day of your training/course
It is the responsibility of the booker/participants to be prompt at the venue to ensure that the activity runs on time. If you are more than 25 minutes late, the activity might start without you and you are not entitled to a refund or voucher for the missed activity. It is the responsibility of the booker/participants to inform the instructor of any medications/illnesses/injuries that may impact the activity.
We may take photos and videos during your session. By booking with us you agree to inform us if you are not happy for photos/ videos to be used for marketing purposes (both online - website, social media, third party websites etc - and for print).
During your activity/course
We can store your property in Freediving Sri Lanka but it is done so at your own risk. Freediving Sri Lanka assumes no responsibility for any items left in our care.
You must listen and follow the direction of your Freediving Sri Lanka Instructor at all times. If you are deemed to not be cooperating or being unsafe, you will be asked to leave the activity and not entitled to a refund. Freediving Sri Lanka will only take participants on an activity who are free from the influence of alcohol and drugs.
Equipment
We ask that you treat Freediving Sri Lanka’s equipment with care. If you damage or lose any Freediving Sri Lanka equipment, you agree to pay the cost of replacing or repairing the item as a result of your misconduct or negligence. This includes both hardware and clothing (such as wetsuits, masks, snorkels, fins, weights).
Dive location and conditions
Freediving Sri Lanka reserves the right to determine the location of the dive site based on the weather and conditions up to and including the day of the course or training. This decision is made with safety and the enjoyment of our divers at the priorities.
Cancellation Policy
If YOU have to cancel:
We understand things happen and you may have to change your plans.
-
If you cancel 7 working days prior to the session or course date: full deposit refund will be given.
-
If you cancel less than 7 working days prior to the session or course: we will give you a voucher for the deposit value of the training or course to use at another time. The vouchers are transferable and have a 365 day validity.
If WE have to cancel
We are based in wonderful, wild Sri Lanka and unfortunately the conditions do not always play ball. We will always try to give you as much notice as possible but sometimes unpredicted things happen. If we have to cancel, you have a few options:
-
You can reschedule to another course or training date
-
Get a voucher for the deposit amount to use at another time
-
Get a full deposit refund as the weather/conditions are the one thing we can’t control and we want you to have the best possible experience.
Acceptance of Risk
Participants are to be aware that outdoor activities have an element of risk and that participation is at the customer's own risk. Freediving Sri Lanka takes no responsibility for any accident, injury, or loss of property, etc. that might result during or as a result of the conduct of the arranged activities. Some activities must be completed once commenced as the safest option.
Liability
We have $5 million public liability insurance and all instructors are fully qualified and accredited by Apnea International or an equivalent organisation. Freediving Sri Lanka will not accept liability of personal injury sustained to participants as a result of not following Freediving Sri Lanka staff’s instructions.
