The team at Parrottfish SCUBA may have to postpone or change the location of your course due to the weather or other conditions outside of our control (e.g. pollution events, breakdowns, etc..). Should this happen we will give you as much notice as possible and we will work with you to book a new date that works for both parties. Should you not be able to make the new date or location we can offer a refund less the value of your e-learning which is yours and can be transferred to another dive centre. The e-learning has no expiry date.
Should you wish to cancel or change your booking there is a 14 day cooling off period where changes can be made free of charge (if you have registered your e-learning already, the value of the e-learning will be deducted from your refund), unless their is less than 14 days before the course start date, in which case the cooling off period lasts until the start of the standard cancilation periods. The standard cancelation periods are as follows: to cancel your course 1 week before it is due to start you will receive a refund equal to 50% of the total paid less the value of the e-learning (for example, if the e-learning is valued at £20 and you paid £120 you would receive £50 in refund). At 48 hours notice or less unfortunately we cannot offer any refund. Cancellations before the 1 week period and after your 14 day cooling off period can be made and you will receive a full refund less the value of your e-learning and a £25 cancelation fee.
For changes to your booking date made by yourself (including if you miss your course and wish to rebook, or if you don't complete e-learning and/or medical/waiver forms) fees are as follows. More than 72 hours notice £25 rebooking fee, 72-24 hours notice £50 rebooking fee, less than 24hrs notice 50% of course value (less the value of e-learning materials).

Unfortunately we do not have the capacity or facility to provide transport to the dive site. Some of our dive sites can be reached via a short walk from the city centre whilst others cannot, likewise public transport has a good connection to some sites but not others. If transport is an issue please let us know at the time of booking so we can arrange a site that works well for you.
We also do not cover the cost of parking at dive sites so please bear this in mind when driving to the site.
