SCUBA COURSE PAYMENT PLANS AND POLICIES


We all love to dive, and we do not believe people who want to learn how to scuba dive, or who want to learn more about diving, should be prevented from doing so because of cost.  With this in mind we have developed several payment options and a payment plan to get your where you want to be; mainly diving off the California coast!  If you have a friend who also wants to participate in a class we have group options and discounts available as well.  We also offer several options for our specialty courses and other continuing education classes.  Also included below are our course policies.  If you have any questions please feel free to contact Matt @ 805.559.6021 or drop us a line at info@calcoastdivers.com.

 

SECURE YOUR SEAT IN EACH CLASS

All scuba courses require a non-refundable payment of $125.00 US dollars at the time of enrollment.  Unless you enroll in a payment options plan, the rest of the course fees including tuition, boat, and books are due at the time of the class orientation.

 

MAKE UP POLICY

All class, pool, and ocean dives canceled due to weather conditions will be made up at no cost to the student.  For whatever reason a student is unavailable to make a scheduled course date and notifies the instructor before the start of the course, a make-up date will be set on the calendar that is convenient for both the instructor and the student.  As long as the make-up date is within 3 weeks of the scheduled course completion date, no make-up fee will be assessed to the student for the first make-up date.  Keep in mind that many courses require you to complete the class in a set order in which each course activity is a prerequisite for the next days event.  In this case you may need to reschedule more than one date.  Each additional make-up date requested by the student prior to the commencement of the course will result in a $65.00 dollar make-up fee.  Extreme emergencies that cause a student to miss a date of either class or pool may be assessed a $65.00 make-up fee at the discretion of the instructor.  Open water dives for beach sessions may also be made up for a fee of $65.00.  Open water training dives for any course that requires a boat dive or boat trip will be assessed a boat fee for both the instructor and student, in addition to a $75.00 dollar fee.  All fees are per person unless otherwise arranged.

 

PRIVATE COURSE PLANS

All course schedules developed by the student that are not available to the general public for enrollment are considered to be private courses.  Private courses will be assessed a fee of $150.00 per student in addition to the instructor boat fee and regular fees of the course.  Private courses require a non-refundable deposit of $150.00 dollars for each student.  All make ups for this course fall under the make up policy outlined above.  Private course fees are due at the time of the enrollment or no later than the end of the orientation date scheduled for the course.  A private course ceases to meet these requirements for groups of 4 or more students.  For discounts available for group private lessons see the policy below.  No payment plans are available for private lessons.

 

GROUP DISCOUNTS

Groups of 3 or more who sign up for at least one regularly scheduled dive course will be given a 20% discount on the tuition for that course when they mention this plan.  A 125.00 dollar non-refundable fee will be assessed to each student.  Each student must mention they are part of a group at the time of enrollment and the discount will only be assessed once all 3 people have enrolled in the course.  All students must mention this plan and sign up for the course within 24 hours of the first person who enrolls to be eligible for this plan.  All make up policies as set forth above apply.  This offer may not be combined with any other offer.

 

BUSINESS DISCOUNTS

If you are a business owner or manager of a business and would like to plan a scuba course for your employees we have several options available.  Businesses are eligible for our free introduction to scuba diving lecture which covers a portion of the material usually covered in the course to give the prospective students a feel for the course and to make sure the teaching style is right for your employees.  All classroom work can be scheduled around your work week and lectures may be given at your place of employment at no extra charge.  Immediate family of business employees may also participate in the course.  Special corporate discounts are available for class sizes of 4 or more.  To make an inquiry of this kind please e-mail us at info@calcoastdivers.com or contact us via phone at 805.559.6021 for more information.  We will be sure to respond to your inquiry within 24 hours.

 

 

CORE COURSE PAYMENT OPTIONS PLAN

Primary core courses are considered to be the PADI Open water, Advanced Open water, Rescue, and Divemaster courses.  For as little as 125.00 dollars down, and payments as low as 45.00 dollars a month you may sign up for each and every course we offer.  To secure your seat a non-refundable deposit of 75.00 dollars is due at the time of sign up.  This $75.00 non-refundable deposit is included in the 125.00 dollar down payment due when enrolling in this payment plan.  Envelops will be sent to the student in the middle of every month, and payments will be due on the last day of each month.  Late payments will be assessed a 25.00 dollar non-negotiable late fee.  As long as the item is post dated no later than the last date of the month no fee will be assessed regardless of when the payment is received by our accounting office.  Late fees will be added to the following bill.  Students will be notified of their remaining balance and balance due at the time of their monthly payment reminder.

SPECIALTIES PAYMENT OPTIONS

Specialty courses are considered to be any course which is not a core course.  A nonrefundable deposit of 75.00 US dollars is due at the time of enrollment for each course enrolled in.  All additional course fees are due at the end of the orientation class.  Should the student enroll in 3 specialty courses at one time, a 15% discount on tuition will be assessed for each course enrolled in.  Students who enroll in 6 specialties at one time will be given the most expensive tuition for free in addition to the 15% discount.  Students may pay the 75.00 US dollar fee at the time of enrollment and subsequently enroll in the specialty payment plan.  A 25.00 US dollar payment per month, per specialty will be assessed to the student until the full US dollar amount of the tuition is paid.  The payment option for this course requires the 75.00 US dollar fee as outlined above.  Envelops will be sent to the student in the middle of every month, and payments will be due on the last day of each month.  Late payments will be assessed a 25.00 dollar non-negotiable late fee.  As long as the item is post dated no later than the last date of the month no fee will be assessed regardless of when the payment is received by our accounting office.  Late fees will be added to the following bill.  Students will be notified of their remaining balance and balance due at the time of their monthly payment reminder. 

 

 

MASTER SCUBA DIVER OPTION

Students with 50 logged dives, who are at least Rescue Diver certified, and hold 5 specialties may apply for the PADI Master Scuba Diver rating.  A one time processing and certification fee of 100.00 US dollars will be assessed to the diver once these prerequisites are complete.  Students who take all of their 5 specialties used to fulfill the prerequisites for the MSD rating will be given a 50% discount on this 100.00 US dollar processing fee.  Students who enroll in the 5 specialties at one time will be given a 25% discount on the tuition for each specialty.  This discount may not be combined with any other offer.
