If you decide not to embark on our boat and dive, cause of your personal considerations to the weather conditions, then we will try to change your dive days if your schedule permits, however we can’t guarantee you’ll be able to change the dive days and if we can’t, fees will not be refunded.
Cancellations received the same day to the departure of the activity booked, or make a no show (failure to arrive) can cause a cancellation of our day’s trip. Fees will not be refunded.
Rainy or cloudy weather are no valid reasons for cancellation by client, fees will not be refunded.
Divers who fail to dive due to seasickness or other causes are responsible for the cost of their day’s diving.
Liamis Dive Centre reserves the right to apply an appropriate surcharge to its prices should economic changes (such as exchange rate, fuel prices etc.) make a material difference to its pricing structure.
A minimum of 14 days’ notice will be given before such a surcharge becomes effective.
If the surcharge results in an increase of 10% or more to the price of the dive package/course then cancellation with a full refund will be allowed. Notification of the intention to cancel must be made within 14 days of the notification of the surcharge.

Qualified divers

Cancellation for any EANx/NITROX tanks must be received within 48 hours prior to boarding the boat. Failure to do so will incur a charge of 50% of the total cost of the rental.
If you already paid for multiple dives for a day (2 dives) and decided to do less dives (at the dive site), you do not get refund.
If for any reason you decide not to make all the dives of your chosen diving package on any particular day we cannot refund partial dive days.

Certification Courses

If the weather condition does not allow us to have calm shallow water, we may use a pool designed for diving training for your Confined Water training sessions. If the sea conditions are not good enough for Open Water training, your training dives will be rescheduled.
We do not refund your course fee if you decided to drop out from your certification course after it has started. When paying for a course you do not pay for certification, you pay for training- you must meet the requirements for your particular course to earn certification. It is possible to fail a course; failure does not qualify you for a refund.
Your instructor will determine if you can get certified or not, judging how you are meeting the requirements for your particular course (skill demonstration, comfort level in the water, and total dive skills) and your score on written examination and quizzes.
If you do not follow your instructors’ directions, or if you cannot successfully demonstrate the skills that meet the requirement, you may not get certified. If you disagree with your instructor’s evaluation of your diving skills you can request a reevaluation by the Training Director or another Instructor. All students who do not earn certification in a course will be provided with a written explanation of why they were not certified.
If you require additional training (more than one day) to meet the minimum requirements, we reserve the right to charge for these additional days.
If the diving dates on courses need to be changed, and alternatives dates are not suitable, you will only be charged for the proportion of the course you have completed. For more details, check in our dive center on arrival.
