Frequently Asked Questions
We ask that you set aside 3 full days to complete the course. We do not like to rush this training as it is your foundation for scuba diving and its important that you have the time to learn all the skills properly. It is possible that some days may only be half days but we will not be able to determine this ahead of time.
No, once you are certified with PADI you are certified for life. If you allow some time to pass between dives you may be required to do a refresher but your certification never expires and PADI is recognized worldwide so you can dive anywhere that diving is available.
You need to be in physically good condition. Some medical conditions are prohibitive to diving. You will complete a medical questionnaire to determine your fitness to dive. A physician clearance may be required if there are any questions or concerns.
We do not offer this course as a 2 day course. It is very important to us that once you have completed this course with us you will be proficient in all the skills necessary to safely scuba dive. We need our students to have 3 days to complete the course. If you have limited time there are options to complete part of the course at home before you reach us. Feel free to message us to ask about these options.
Payment & Cancellation
Cancellation Policy
Flexible
  • Cancellations made 15 days before will be fully refunded except for a service fee of 3%.
  • Cancellations made 7 days before will be refunded 70% of the amount paid.
  • Cancellations made at a later date will not be refunded.
Terms & Conditions
Cancellation: Refund will be given for confirmed bookings if Happy Go Luckie Tours has to cancel due to weather or other unforeseen events. In the event of a cancellation we will do our best to reschedule the trip at the convenience of the guest. Cancellations by the guest for any reason including missing documents or medical issues will incur cancellation fees as per the cancellation policy.


We reserve the right to cancel dives or tours for the following reasons:

​​1. Weather - sometimes we have to cancel due to unsafe conditions or conditions which would greatly effect your comfort and enjoyment.

2. Mechanical issues - we only buy new engines which are serviced regularly to make sure they are in good running condition and replaced once they pass their service life. Occasionally we still encounter issues which cannot be rectified and this may lead to a cancellation.

3. Minimums - Our non-private dive trips are based on a minimum number of divers. If we do not achieve the minimum, a private dive can be offered in order to cover the minimum cost of the trip. Alternatively, we would need to cancel the dive. Minimum cancellations are not applicable to private tours as the minimum cost is always covered.

4. Staffing issues - Although extremely rare, our staff are human and sometimes they get sick or have emergencies. Generally we have people to cover in these situations but there may be times when notice is too short to find a replacement which would then necessitate a cancellation.
