Please note that each participant must complete their own booking form using their own personal details. The information provided on this form is used to assign the correct PADI eLearning materials and to create or link the participant’s individual PADI account.

Each participant must also have their own email address, as the PADI eLearning access and course information will be linked directly to that email account. Multiple participants cannot be booked under one person’s details or email address, as this may cause delays with eLearning access, certification processing, and course administration.

Before completing this booking form, please note that all courses run over multiple days and generally take place from 08:00 to 16:00, depending on the course schedule, weather, and dive conditions. Course spaces are limited, with a maximum of 6 students per course slot, and your booking will only be confirmed once the Dive School has checked availability and confirmed your selected dates. Some training days, especially open-water or boat-dive days, are weather dependent and may need to be adjusted closer to the time for safety and best diving conditions.

As part of this booking form, you will be required to complete the medical questionnaire. Please note that this medical questionnaire will also need to be completed again once your PADI eLearning materials have been assigned, as PADI requires this information to be verified through their system as well. The questionnaire on this form helps us check, before confirming your booking, whether you may need medical clearance from a physician before taking part in any scuba diving activities.

Please read each medical question carefully and answer honestly. Certain medical answers may require a physician’s approval before you can continue with the course. If this is only identified after your eLearning has already been assigned, it may result in your course being postponed or cancelled, and no refund may be possible for as eLearning materials that have already been issued.
