Booking, Cancellation & Refund Terms
Clear rules so you can plan your trip with confidence — and so weather or health never cost you a course.
1. Service provider
Adnan Yanbay – Life Aquatic, Kaş Kamping, Necipbey Caddesi No:3, 07580 Kaş, Antalya, Türkiye. Contact: info@lifeaquatickas.com · +90 532 400 88 36.
2. Booking and payment
- A booking is confirmed once we have agreed the dates and price with you in writing (WhatsApp or email).
- To hold dates for a course or program, we may ask for a deposit of 30%. If no deposit is agreed, your dates are held but not guaranteed.
- The balance is paid at the school before or on the first day. Payments at the school are currently accepted in cash.
- Prices on this website are per person in euros and include instruction. Unless stated otherwise they do not include equipment rental, accommodation or transport. Equipment is included or charged as agreed in writing.
3. Cancellation by you
| When you cancel | What happens |
|---|---|
| 14 days or more before the start | Full refund of your deposit, or free change of dates. |
| 7–13 days before the start | 50% of the deposit is refunded, or you move your booking once, free of charge, to new dates within 12 months. |
| Less than 7 days before the start, or no-show | The deposit is not refunded. We will still try to move you to other dates within 12 months if places are available. |
Anything you have paid for days that have not started yet is refunded in full, minus any part of the deposit retained under the table above.
4. Weather, sea conditions and cancellation by us
- Safety comes first. If we cancel or shorten a session because of weather, sea conditions or an instructor safety decision, we will reschedule it during your stay.
- If it cannot be made up before you leave, you choose: a credit valid for 12 months or a refund of the unused part.
- If we have to cancel a course before it starts for any reason on our side, you receive a full refund or new dates — your choice.
5. Illness and injury
If you cannot start or continue because of illness or injury, supported by a doctor’s note, the unused part of your course becomes a credit valid for 12 months, or we refund it if you prefer. You may need medical clearance before returning to the water.
6. Courses already started
- Sessions already completed are not refundable.
- If you decide to stop a course yourself, unused sessions become a credit valid for 12 months.
- Fees already paid to SSI for registration, digital learning or certification are not refundable once issued.
- Training packages (5 or 10 sessions) are personal and valid for 12 months from the first session. The Master Program is booked as a four-week block; days missed for weather or medical reasons are handled as in sections 4 and 5.
7. Safety, health and certification
- Every participant completes the SSI medical statement and liability documents before training. Some conditions require a doctor’s approval.
- Do not drink alcohol before training. Arrive rested and tell us about any illness, medication or recent flight.
- The instructor may pause or stop a dive or session if it is not safe to continue. This is not a cancellation under section 3.
- Certification depends on meeting SSI standards. It is not guaranteed by booking a course. If you need more time, we will offer extra sessions.
- Participants under 18 need written consent from a parent or legal guardian.
8. Equipment
Rental equipment is your responsibility during use. Loss or damage beyond normal wear is charged at repair or replacement cost.
9. Photos and video
We may film training for technique feedback. We only publish images of you with your consent.
10. Law and consumer rights
These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Türkiye. Your statutory rights as a consumer, including under Consumer Protection Law No. 6502, are not affected. Consumers may apply to the Consumer Arbitration Committees or Consumer Courts.
