Dive School de Grevelingen · Version 1.1 · Scharendijke, May 2026

At Duikschool de Grevelingen (a tradename of Expeditie 82 B.V., also “the dive school”), we organise diving and snorkelling activities for both non-certified and certified divers. To ensure these activities run smoothly and safely, we apply the following terms and conditions.

1. Participant

The participant is the individual who signs the registration form, or in the case of a minor, at least one parent, legal guardian, or custodian. By signing the registration form, you, as the participant, acknowledge and agree to these terms and conditions. You understand that these conditions are also for your own safety and benefit.

2. Activities

The activities (also referred to as “dives”) you participate in as a participant include pool sessions, confined water dives or open water dives, including snorkelling, freediving, and recreational SCUBA diving. This includes introductory activities, training courses, guided dives, or independent dives (without direct supervision from a professional).

3. Medical questionnaire

All participants must be in good health to take part in activities organised by the dive school. As a participant, you acknowledge the importance of this and agree to inform the dive school immediately if there are any doubts or questions about this. You declare that you are fit and in good health, and that there are no medical objections to participating in diving, freediving, and/or snorkelling activities. You confirm that you have received a medical questionnaire to assess whether a statement from a medical doctor is required. You confirm you have reviewed this form. Participation is only permitted if your answers to the questionnaire do not require clearance from a medical doctor. If your answers do indicate the need for clearance, you may only participate if you can provide a valid written statement from a medical doctor. The dive school reserves the right to exclude you from participation if there are concerns about your physical or mental health.

4. Theft and damage

The dive school accepts no responsibility for theft, damage, or loss of personal belongings or items in the direct or indirect care of the participant. This applies to all activities, including transport to and from the dive location.

5. Minor participants

The minimum age for open water activities is 14 years. For minor participants, the registration form must also be signed by a parent, legal guardian, or custodian, who will be responsible for ensuring the minor understands the contents of the forms and any related documents, and acts accordingly.

6. Instructions

During all activities, you must strictly follow the instructions given by our diving professionals or any other staff member affiliated with the dive school.

7. No solo diving

Solo diving is strictly prohibited. You must remain with your assigned instructor, divemaster, and/or buddy at all times. You must descend and ascend together and only separate once back on land at the original entry point.

8. Diving within your limits

You always dive within the limits of your training and certification. The dive depth must never exceed your certification level (or the level for which you are currently in training) and shall in any case not exceed a maximum depth of 30 metres. You are jointly responsible for respecting these limits and are required to share any relevant information with the dive school.

9. Dive equipment

Diving safety requires, among other things, that the complete set of equipment functions correctly. Any equipment provided by the dive school is regularly inspected. Nevertheless, you are responsible for checking that all equipment you take underwater — regardless of ownership — is functioning properly and safely.

10. Loss of equipment

You are responsible for any dive equipment provided to you. In the event of loss of any equipment or parts thereof, the replacement value based on retail prices in the dive shop will be charged.

11. Gift voucher

A gift voucher is valid for the specific activity stated on the voucher. The voucher has no cash value. A gift voucher is valid for one year from the date of issue shown on the voucher and can only be used during the diving season after booking an appointment. A gift voucher can only be used once. The full cost of the activity covered by the voucher must be paid at the time of booking. Gift vouchers cannot be refunded.

12. Cancellation policy

You may cancel a reserved activity free of charge up to five calendar days before the scheduled (first) dive day. If you cancel less than five days before the dive day, a cancellation fee of €45 per person per dive will be charged. A confirmed booking can only be rescheduled — where possible — through mutual agreement. If you cancel on the day of the activity, or if a dive or course is interrupted or not started for any reason, or if it becomes clear on the day itself that you are unable to dive for medical reasons (see point 3), you are required to pay the full amount for the reserved activities. If the dive school needs to cancel an activity (for example, due to weather conditions that make diving unsafe or an ill staff member), an alternative date will always be offered. If rescheduling within the current season or within a year proves impossible, any advance payments will be refunded. Advance payments for a dive training or course are non-refundable, as the dive school incurs costs in all cases. However, online theory lessons usually remain accessible so you can complete them at a later time.

13. Applicable law and amendments

These conditions are governed by Dutch law. We reserve the right to amend these conditions at any time. The current version is always available at diveschool.pro, where you will also find our privacy statement.
