Restrictions

All participants must complete PADI’s required medical questionnaire before class. A “YES” answer does not necessarily prevent you from participating. Contact us, and we’ll send you the appropriate medical form for your doctor to review and sign. Medical clearance must be completed before class when required—this is a mandatory PADI safety standard.

Participants in PADI Mermaid and Advanced Mermaid courses must also be able to complete the required watermanship skills listed during checkout. These are mandatory for certification, and refunds cannot be issued if a participant cannot meet the minimum requirements.

If you are pregnant, have a medical condition, disability, or impaired mobility, please contact us before booking so we can discuss medical clearance, reasonable accommodations, and whether the course environment is appropriate for you.
