General Policies |
|
|
1. All dive trips will be posted in the annual calendar and announced at
club meetings.
2. Club members can call the dive director at 10:00 AM on Friday, eight
(8) weeks before the trip to sign up for the trip. When club members
call in to sign up for a trip, they can reserve two (2) spots. These
spots are for them and their dive buddy (dive club member only) for that
trip, and they must dive together.
3. Dive sign-ups will be accepted in the order in which the calls are
received. The call in will open at 10:00 AM on the Friday eight (8)
weeks before the scheduled dive event, unless otherwise announced.
Divers will call the dive director and be placed in order of the call
in. Once the dive is full, people will be placed on a waiting list.
Those people on the waiting list for one dive will be given preference
for the next club dive trip applicable to their certification level.
This preference will only be applicable for the first calendar day of
sign-ups.
4. If a trip fills up quickly and there is a waiting list, the people on
the waiting list will be notified and can arrange for a second boat. The
Caloosa Dive Club will not organize the second boat; it will be the sole
responsibility of the people on the waiting list.
5. Payment for dives must be paid within two (2) weeks of the call in
date. The payment can be paid at the next scheduled meeting, mailed to
the dive club post office box, mailed to the dive director’s address, or
paid by Pay-Pal. There will be NO exceptions. If payment is not paid
within two (2) weeks, the spot(s) on that dive may be forfeited and
filled from the waiting list. These people from the waiting list will
have one (1) week to send in their deposit(s). Special dive trips will
be dealt with on a case by case basis.
6. Fees are not refundable unless a qualified substitute is found. The
person wanting off the trip must first contact the dive director to find
a replacement from the waiting list. If there is no one on the waiting
list, the person may find any club member as a replacement with the help
of the dive director. If the trip has been opened up to
non-members, the replacement may be a non-member. In no case may
the waiting list be bypassed.
7. After giving members two (2) weeks to sign up for a club trip, a trip
may be opened up to non-members if there are five (5) or more openings
on the trip. If there are four (4) or fewer openings on the trip,
non-members will be eligible to sign up for trips five (5) weeks after
the trip was opened to members.
8. The club will charter the entire boat when feasible.
9. Any time the dive club dives with a charter company that has a policy
of required certification, we will honor this requirement. The Caloosa
Dive Club will not set certification level requirements; it will be up
to the dive charter company.
10. Weekend charter trips will be for the entire weekend, not just parts
of the weekend. If the club is diving for 2 days over the weekend, all
participating members will dive for both days. If the trip is not
full and the club does not charter the entire boat, members wishing to
dive one of the days will be directed to contact the charter company
directly.
11. On those rare trips when the entire boat is not chartered, special
club rules for a particular trip will not be in effect. Only the
charter company’s policies will apply.
12. Each diver on a club dive will be required to fill out and sign a
Caloosa Dive Club Waiver of Liability to absolve the dive club from
any responsibility. There will be no exceptions. Only one waiver will be
required per calendar year, per person. |

Organization of Trips Policies
|
|
|
|
1. Dive trips are organized by dive committee members who volunteer
to do the footwork to set up different dives following a general policy
set by the dive committee. Each dive coordinator will fill out a
Caloosa Dive Club Dive
Coordinator Checklist for their respective planned dive and give a
copy of it to the dive director.
2. Dive coordinators and their dive buddy, if applicable, are
automatically the first and second members signed up for the dive they
plan. The dive coordinator must notify the dive director of the
identity of their buddy for the trip even if the dive coordinator is
married and always dives with their spouse. This notification must
be made before the trip is full. If no such notification is made,
the dive coordinator will be the only person automatically signed up for
the trip. This is to prevent any misunderstandings.
3. All scheduled dives must have all the information on the dive
coordinator checklist filled out (price, includes tanks, nitrox, lunch,
total prices, contact names etc.) or this dive will be considered is
unscheduled and that date will be filled with an alternate dive at the
discretion of the dive director.
4. Dive coordinators have until October 22 to get the dive quoted,
scheduled and confirm that the dive is on the operator’s calendar.
Should this not happen, this date will be considered open, and an
alternate dive will be scheduled by the dive director or their
appointee.
5. Dive coordinators are responsible for writing an article describing
the planned location/dives to be included on the club web site to let
members know what can be expected on the trip and dives. This
article is to be submitted to the dive director by the first week of
December.
6. Dive coordinators are responsible for submitting an article
describing the dive trip within one week of returning from that dive.
This article may be written by the dive coordinator or any member from
the trip. It is to be submitted to the dive director within one
week of returning from the trip.
7. Any changes in a dive once scheduled must be brought to the attention
of the dive director in writing. All changes are to be submitted via
mail or email to the dive director.
8. Dive coordinators must have copies of c-cards and completed, signed
waivers on file or turn them in with their checklists. They must
submit a new completed, signed waiver in January or prior to the first
club dive of the year. If this is not done on time, a replacement
dive coordinator will be appointed by the dive director.
9. It is the policy of the Caloosa Dive Club not to pay any deposits in
excess of $100 to dive operators for scheduled trips prior to eight (8)
weeks before the trip.
10. It is the policy of the Caloosa Dive Club not to pay any
non-refundable deposits. All deposits must be refundable with a
two week notice of cancellation.
11. The dive director will maintain a binder with photocopies of diver
certification cards. Each diver who participates in a club dive must
provide a copy of their certification card to the dive director before
participating in a club dive (front and back if applicable). A copy of
diver’s DAN membership or other insurance provider should also be placed
in the folder. All divers who intend to rent nitrox tanks or buy nitrox
refills from a dive operation should also provide the dive director with
a copy of their nitrox certification card for filing.
12. Copies of member certification cards will accompany the dive
director or the dive coordinator on all club trips.
