ProTec Booking Policy
We strive to make booking easy through quick and reliable communication. We require a deposit via PayPal or wire transfer to book dives or training.
Our Commitment When We Accept A Deposit
If we do not provide an Instructor for the dates we confirmed, we will refund all deposits, we will refund you the cost of your flights and pay for your hotel. In addition, we will give you the training days at a future date at no cost.
Individual Diver Guiding and Training
To reserve your spot in any course, workshop or guided diving we require a 50% deposit on all days up to a maximum of $1.000 USD. Reservations can be made any time, up to two years prior to the start date. The price will vary depending on the level of training you desire and is based on our daily rate. A deposit is required for all divers, and until the deposits are secured, the training days are not reserved or confirmed.
Once we receive your deposit and confirm your reservation, your deposit is non-refundable. If you cancel your reservation 30 days (or more) prior to your start date you will receive a 100% credit voucher for your deposit, good at any ProTec Dive Center for any goods or services. The voucher is transferrable to another diver.
If you cancel the reservation less than 30 days prior to your training date there are no refunds or vouchers for your deposit.
We DO give 100% credit vouchers for any cancellations made at any time due to “Acts of God” (hurricanes, port closed due to weather, death in the immediate family, hospitalisation).
If the reserved diving or training is stopped, after it has started, by the student for any reason (mental, physical, temperature, environment, sickness, etc.) or by ProTec for any reason, the customer will receive a credit of days not used in the form of a voucher. A minimum of 2 days will be charged and not credited to the voucher. Once training has gone over 2 days, the exact number of days in training will be charged, and the expenses for days used only.
Cancellations less than 24h in advance will be considered a no-show. In the case of a no-show, divers will be charged full price for that day. This will be paid via loss of deposit. If the deposit is greater than the full price for that day, the remaining balance will remain useable in the future as a voucher.
Group Diver Training
When booking group reservations we must receive a 100% deposit for the expected total cost, or a maximum of $1000 USD, prior to training and tours. Your reservation is confirmed once we receive your deposit. Group travel for tours is non-refundable and no credit will be issued. Group travel can be cancelled for weather-related “Acts of God” and deposits will be returned via credit voucher to either the company or the individual divers. No part of the money will be refunded for any reason other than weather. Diver names can change, but the amount of space booked is the responsibility of the group leader/agent/booking company. Cancellations made to group reservations less than 30 days prior to or during a group trip for any reason will be charged at the original rate. There are no credit vouchers for group cancellations (or for individuals in the group).
