The material covered during the class, pool, and open water sessions is important to your safety as a diver, so attendance is mandatory. If you cannot attend a session, be sure to make arrangements with your instructor to schedule a make-up session. You will not be certified until you have completed all required sessions.

Divers must make important decisions when planning and executing a dive. Your instructor will withhold certification if it's believed your actions could cause harm to yourself or others.
