      BOOKING CONDITIONS

      Course Booking Conditions

      All course participants must meet the following requirements and agree to the terms below:

      Eligibility

      • Participants must be at least 12 years old, unless enrolling in programs like Bubble Makers or Seal Team (minimum age: 8).
      • You must have your own transport for the duration of the course.
      • Many dive sites are located within National Parks. Please ensure you obtain a valid parks pass
        Parks Pass:
        👉 https://passes.parks.tas.gov.au
      • All courses are taught in English only. For safety reasons, no translation is permitted — no exceptions.

      Medical and Swim Requirements

      • You must complete a medical questionnaire. Depending on your responses, you may be required to obtain clearance from a doctor.
      • If you are 45 years or older, a diving medical with a doctor is mandatory.
      • You must be able to swim 200 metres and float for 10 minutes unassisted.
      1. These tests are conducted on Day 1 of the course.
      2. Failure to pass will result in course cancellation without refund.
      3. Not bringing swim gear is not a valid excuse.
      4. Re-testing may be scheduled at an additional fee of $150/hour (minimum 1 hour, calculated from staff departure and return to Hobart).


      Payments, Refunds & Rebooking

      • A non-refundable deposit of $245 per person applies to all course bookings.
      • Cancellations within 30 days of the original booking are eligible for a partial refund:
        Example: $645 course – $245 deposit = $400 refund
      • No refunds will be given within 14 days of the course start date, regardless of reason.
      • If you fail a diving medical and provide documentation to info@godivetassie.com.au, you will receive a partial refund, less the $245 deposit.

      Combo Course Refunds

      If you cancel a Combo Course (a multi person package) but wish to downgrade to a lower-value course instead of cancelling completely, we will calculate your refund based on the difference in course values, minus the non-refundable $245 deposit.

      Example:
      You booked a 4 Person Combo Course valued at $1999, but decide to downgrade to a 3 Person Combo Course valued at $1575.

      • Price difference: $1999 – $1575 = $424
      • Less non-refundable deposit: $424 – $245 = $179 refund

      So, your total refund would be $179.

      The refund will be provided to the original purchaser and payment method.

      Please note: No refunds will be given for combo course cancellations made within 14 days of the course start date.

      Date Changes & No Shows

      • Changing course dates within 14 days of the start date will incur a $245 rebooking fee per person.

      This can be done once only. Further changes require full course re-payment.

      • Not attending or not completing the course will also incur a $245 rebooking fee (valid once within 12 months).

      After that, full payment is required for re-enrolment.

      Course Access & Communication

      • After booking, we will contact you via email or phone to confirm your details and issue access to your online learning materials.
      • Please check your spam/junk folder. If you do not hear from us, it is your responsibility to contact info@godivetassie.com.au.
      • You will be required to complete waiver and participant forms before the course start date. These are mandatory — no exceptions.

      Buy Now – Choose Dates Later (Gift Voucher Conditions)

      • This option is treated as a gift voucher, valid for 3 years from the date of purchase.
      • To redeem, you must provide the original receipt, which contains all necessary information to confirm your booking.

      During the course I felt fully supported, by everyone involved. The coaches were down to earth, friendly, and passionate about diving. They were more than happy, to answer any questions, and supported us through every step. I achieved more than I ever thought possible, and would highly recommend others to do it. You come out with new friends, new habits, and become part of a bigger community!

      The Pressure Project is awesome!

      I have completed all of my Freedive Training with The Pressure Project; starting with PADI Freediver at Mount Gambier (SA), the PADI Advanced freediver at Lady Elliot Island (QLD) and PADI Master Freediver in Amed, Bali. Adam, Francisco and the entire crew are such a knowledgeable and supportive bunch, and once you've done a course with The Pressure Project you'll be part of a tribe, with opportunities to take your freediving further. So glad they're now offering courses in Tasmania, with Francisco heading up the local training. 🤙🏼👌🏼💙

      Amazing experience

      Just finished my free diving weekend and it was the best mental and physical challenge I have ever attempted . I learned to hold my breath underwater for over 3 minutes and comfortably dive past 12m deep. Not something I ever thought I would be able to do. Kaeo was a fantastic teacher and I can't wait to do a lot more free diving. I cannot recommend this course enough to anyone interested.
