Do I need to know how to swim before I dive?
It is HIGHLY recommended that you can perform basic swimming skills before you seek dive instruction. However, it in not unheard of to dive with limited to no swimming skills.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you are an out-of-town guest, we require at least three days (72 hours) notice of cancellation, or your deposit will not be refunded. If you are local, we require at least 24 hours notice of cancellation, or you are responsible for the full amount of the dive. We are a small company with very limited space and are able to offer our low rates because we have fantastic guests that value our time and theirs. Cancellations due to weather will be determined by Minimax staff. Safety is our very first priority, but that also means we must cancel occasionally due to inclement weather. In this circumstance, any deposit paid will be refunded in full.
