Drysuit Hire and Use Statement - Certified Divers
Please note dry suit's cannot be hired unless you have a dry suit certification. This applies to all sessions and courses except for: Discover Scuba Diving, Open Water Diver and Dry Suit Diver run by Rich who is a PADI Drysuit Instructor. If you do not already have this speciality / course from PADI or another recognised WRSTC agency then have a chat with him as he maybe able to run the course for you. Logged dives are not accepted as proof of competence - this is without exception.
If you join a course and already have your own drysuit you must provide certification or evidence of at least 10 logged cold water dives in that same drysuit. If there is any concerns about your ability to safely use your suit the course/dive will be stopped and remediation offered through Rich for an extra charge; in most cases he would require you to enrol in the PADI Drysuit Speciality. No refund will be given for course or session termination due to your lack of competence in this instance.
ReActivate Requirement - Certified Divers
We require all certified divers to have dived within the last 12 months within similar conditions (cold water) unless enrolled on a Drysuit Speciality prior to joining any course or session. Where this is not the case we require you to complete the PADI ReActivate before any course or session is offered which can be done with any of the Divemaster's or Instructors - please contact your preferred pro to arrange. This can be included on the same day or alongside all courses, sessions or guided dives.
Eyesight - All Divers
In most cases you can scuba dive with soft contact lenses however hard lenses are not suitable; if you use glasses or hard contacts we recommend you invest in a prescription mask before joining any session. Rich at Arran Active can order these for you from TUSA who do a range of masks with interchangeable lenses. These can be self adjusted in the future as your prescription changes. Please speak to him at least 2 weeks before you need them!
Own Equipment Statement - All Divers
If you plan to use your own equipment at any time when joining us for activities such as courses, guided trips or services please note that it is your responsibility to ensure your equipment is within test and serviced regularly. None of the freelance dive professionals you hire can be held liable for any incident/accident/injury or death resulting from any equipment failure in these circumstances. You may be liable if your equipment puts others in danger including any of the freelance pro's that you hire. We reserve the right to refuse to provide our services if we are not satisfied with the safety of your equipment.
