Atlantic Divers Policies.

The Divemaster has the final word on all diving procedures and privileges.

  • Registration may be held by registering online and authorizing payment on a valid credit card establishing an account with the shop.  Divers may reserve online with an account and payment.  Divers may also pay at the shop in full prior to dive on the boat with cash, or credit card or check.  

    A fourteen-day notice for cancellation is required for inshore day trips to transfer dive credit.  Late cancellations owe full dive fee and for unused reserved rentals.  CERTIFICATION IS NOT ENTITLEMENT.  We will screen all divers prior to registration to verify experience and level of diving.  The registration online liability dive form must be filled out prior to registering and diving.

  •  NOTICE: NO CANCELLATION IS ALLOWED FOR SPECIAL, OVERNIGHT, OR EXPERIENCED LEVEL DIVES -- DIVES MARKED WITH a T, E or ES.  An additional deposit is required for these dives.  NO SHOWS and late cancellations lose dive credit. There are no refunds once the boat has reached the destination and is secured at the sight.  

  •  Contact the shop the day before to confirm any changes or cancellations due to weather.

  • Full rentals are available and can be arranged through the shop under the same terms stated above.  No credit is given for seasickness or unused rental equipment.  Please use proper precautions.  Rental deliveries may be arranged for some dives.  Check with the shop to confirm delivery or for pick up.

  • Boats leave promptly at the time indicated.  Divers are to arrive 45 minutes prior to departure to load, sign in, and for pre-dive briefing with divemaster.

  • Destinations may be changed by the divemaster and the captain due to weather or unsafe diving conditions. 

  • Ask the crew permission to board and load all boats. Divers are responsible for loading and unloading their personal equipment and rental equipment prior to and after the dive.  All equipment must be secured, and order maintained on the boat.  Keep the deck entrée and exit areas clear.

  • Due the close confinement of boat cabins, NO SMOKING is allowed on boats and NO wet gear is allowed in the cabin areas.   

  • All divers must be properly equipped for the dives selected.  This includes the use of Nitrox or Trimix for technical diving. A safety sausage, whistle or signal device is required.  An adequate gas supply (doubles over 100 feet), with a redundant system. Single tank with a pony bottle or swing bottle, split tanks or doubles with an isolation manifold (a true alternate system) is required for all dives.  An octopus is not acceptable for wreck diving. (There may be special consideration for smaller divers with a tourguide.) 

  • Ascent reels and lift bags are required for all dives over 90 feet. 

  • Divers are responsible for their own actions and the use of their personal equipment and rental equipment from Atlantic Divers whether engaged in depths above or below the recommended sport diving limit of 130 feet.  Divers that are ill prepared, have an unsafe attitude, that are under the influence of alcohol or drugs forfeit diving privileges.  Illegal incidents will be reported to authorities.

  • DAN Insurance or equal is required for all dives, DAN Insurance
