Activity Terms

1.1These Activity Terms apply to every diving activity, course, excursion, boat trip, snorkelling activity or related service (an “Activity”) booked through Diving Scanner. They supplement the Terms of Use, the Cancellation & Refund Policy and the Privacy Notice.

1.2The information displayed for the Activity during booking, together with your booking confirmation and voucher, forms part of these terms for that booking. Where the offer page states more specific requirements or cancellation terms than this page, the more specific terms apply.

2.1Diving Scanner is an online marketplace, free for divers. The platform operator administers the booking, collects the 10% online payment, issues the voucher and assists with communication and refunds — it does not conduct the Activity.

2.2The dive centre is an independent business and your contract for the Activity is with it. The dive centre is responsible for providing the Activity as described, for its instructors, guides and crew, for supplying and maintaining suitable equipment, for assessing participant eligibility and fitness, for holding the required licences and insurance, and for compliance with applicable safety, consumer and environmental law.

3.1Before you book, the offer page shows the Activity’s essentials as supplied by the dive centre: what is included and excluded, the meeting point, duration and group size, the age, certification, experience and fitness requirements, any depth or supervision limits, the equipment and documents to bring, the total price with its 10% online part and the balance payable to the centre, the centre’s payment terms, and the cancellation deadline. Any compulsory extra charge must be disclosed there before you pay.

3.2The dive centre is responsible for that information being accurate, complete and current. Check the requirements before booking — and with the centre directly if anything is unclear.

4.1A booking is confirmed when the centre accepts it and the 10% online payment is collected; the voucher is issued then. The voucher carries the booking reference, the Activity details, the participant and payment particulars, the requirements and the cancellation terms — present it to the dive centre.

4.2The balance is payable directly to the dive centre at the time and by the method stated on the offer. The centre may not require any payment that was not disclosed before you booked.

5.1The strictest applicable requirement always wins. Participation is subject to the requirements displayed for the Activity and to any stricter requirement of applicable law, the certifying agency, the insurer or the dive centre. The tiers below are general guidance, not an entitlement.

5.2For any participant under 18, a parent or legal guardian must make or approve the booking where the dive centre, certifying agency or local law requires it, and by doing so confirms they have authority to consent, that the minor’s details are accurate, that they understand the risks and requirements, and that they will provide the declarations and documents the centre requires.

6.1Where certification is required, bring valid evidence of it. The dive centre may ask for proof of age and identity, certification, logged dives and recency, specialty or professional qualifications, parental consent, or medical clearance, and will verify them before the Activity.

6.2You must disclose relevant medical conditions to the dive centre and comply with its medical requirements. The centre may refuse or stop participation where a requirement is not met, documentation is missing, a participant appears unfit or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, safety instructions are not followed, or taking part would breach law, agency standards or insurance conditions. Refunds in those cases are governed by the Cancellation & Refund Policy.

7.1Diving and related water activities carry inherent risks — including drowning, decompression illness, arterial gas embolism, barotrauma, equipment failure, currents and sea conditions, marine life, vessel-related risks, delayed emergency assistance, serious injury and death. By booking you acknowledge those risks and accept them voluntarily. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

8.1Attend the safety briefing; follow the instructions of instructors, guides and crew; use equipment correctly; stay within the depth and activity limits set for you; follow buddy and supervision procedures; report illness, discomfort or equipment problems immediately; do not participate under the influence of alcohol or drugs; and stop when instructed. Plan your no-fly interval after diving.

9.1The dive centre may modify, postpone, relocate or cancel an Activity for weather, sea state, visibility, equipment, staffing, official restrictions or any other safety or operational reason. Where that happens the centre offers an alternative date or equivalent Activity first, failing which you are refunded under the Cancellation & Refund Policy.

9.2Arrive at the stated meeting point by the stated time. Late arrival may mean refusal, a shortened Activity or treatment as a no-show, as described in the same policy.

10.1Tell the dive centre — or us — about accessibility, mobility, communication or other participation needs before booking. The centre determines whether it can accommodate them safely and must give you accurate information about any limitation.

11.1Comply with applicable marine and environmental rules: do not touch or damage coral or marine life, remove organisms or protected objects, litter, interfere with wildlife, or breach protected-area requirements.

12.1You are responsible for arranging suitable insurance — diving, medical evacuation, travel and cancellation cover as appropriate — and for confirming the policy covers the type, depth, location and duration of the Activity. See our insurance guidance. Neither the platform nor its operator is an insurer.

13.1Raise operational complaints with the dive centre first, as soon as possible. You can also contact us at info@divingscanner.net and we will assist with communication. Accidents and serious safety incidents should be reported immediately to the dive centre and, where appropriate, emergency services.

13.2The operator and the dive centre each process personal data as independent controllers to administer and safely deliver a booking, as described in the Privacy Notice.

14.1By completing a booking you confirm you have reviewed the Activity’s displayed information, these Activity Terms, the Terms of Use, the Cancellation & Refund Policy and the Privacy Notice, and that every participant meets the displayed requirements. The platform may retain electronic records of the booking, the information displayed and your acknowledgements as evidence of acceptance.

14.2These Activity Terms are governed by the governing-law and jurisdiction provisions of the Terms of Use, without limiting mandatory rights under the law of your country of residence or of the country where the Activity takes place.
