Welcome to your Force-E course. We’re confident that you will find your dive training both fun and rewarding. To learn and practice important concepts and skills for using life-support equipment underwater, you must invest the time needed to do so. This learning agreement is between you (the student diver) and our instructional staff regarding our mutual responsibilities in this program. Student Diver Responsibilities I the undersigned agree to study independently as specified by the instructor. In general, this means that before each practical session, I will: - Complete the assigned tasks and knowledge development portion before you meet for your course, including:
- Have physician’s approval if required.
- Read/watch the assigned materials for thecourse.
- Complete the assigned Knowledge Review(s).
- Complete the Final Exam if required (as assigned).
In addition, I agree to: - Follow all course procedures as set forth by my instructor.
- Ask questions about anything not understood.
- Be on time and be prepared for each practical session.
If I do not follow the points above, I understand that I may need to reschedule practical sessions, and that I’m responsible for any additional costs related to this. In scheduling and determining additional costs, Force-e staff agrees to give every reasonable consideration to unforeseen events, such as family emergencies. Instructor/Staff Responsibilities The course instructor and staff agree to: - Start the class as scheduled.
- Provide a positive learning environment.
- Answer your questions to your satisfaction.
- Assist you through any course challenges.
- Provide opportunities for as many knowledge review sessions, confined water dives and open water dives as necessary for you to comfortably master course-performance objectives. The course fee is based on an average knowledge and skill acquisition. This includes: all knowledge development assessments for confined water dives and for all open water dives.
Because each student learns skills at different rates, the course is student-centered and performance-based, not time-based. Additional sessions may be needed for you to comfortably meet course objectives for certification. Additional sessions beyond what is outlined above are subject to additional Fees. Additional Academic session: $50 Additional Pool Session(s): $100 Additional Shore-Entry open-water Dive $150 Additional Boat Open-water Dive $150 + boat fee Cancellation policy: Force-E staff agrees to give every reasonable consideration to unforeseen events, such as family emergencies and medical emergencies. There is a 72 hours cancelation policy for private lessons. This includes a change of dates and times. Weather cancelations by the instructor or charter are done for the safety and well-being of the student. Cancelations after the 72 hours window will result in a make up fee of $50 (per student diver). Cancelations within the 24 hours window will result in a make up fee of $100 (per student diver). Cancelations within a 12 hours window are subject to a make up fee of $150 (per student diver). I agree to the terms listed above. Date: August 24, 2026 |
