Important Notes
🔴 Please arrive in Cebu at least one day before the course begins.
🔴 After completing the course, allow at least one full day for sightseeing or rest to off-gas
nitrogen before boarding a flight.
🔴 PADI courses follow a performance-based system, so the number of days required to
complete the course cannot be guaranteed.
🔴 Weather and sea conditions may sometimes prevent ocean training,
so please plan your schedule with sufficient flexibility.
🔴 Ensure a minimum surface interval of 18 hours between your last dive and your flight.
🔴 All course materials must be purchased through MSU.
🔴 In the event that the instructor determines you are not yet ready to complete the course within the scheduled number of days, and you also agree with this assessment, we will discuss the following options together and decide on the best course of action:
— Continue with additional training sessions (at an additional cost), or
— Cancel the course (a full refund may not be possible, but we will do our best to make a fair adjustment), or
— Reschedule your remaining training for another date, or
— Certify you for a suitable subset license — for example:
Open Water Diver → Scuba Diver, Advanced Open Water Diver → Adventure Diver
