Scuba Diving Lessons

Looking for an unusual holiday or birthday gift? Why not
present an all-paid pass for several scuba diving lessons?
Of course, such a gift is not for the faint in heart. This
should be reserved for those who continually look for new
adventures and thrills. Make sure the intended recipient is
a good swimmer and may be interested in diving as a hobby.
Price the scuba diving lessons. A purchase of four lessons
should not only pay for the lessons themselves but also
some extras as well. First, be certain that the instructor
is a certified, professional diver. It is always a good
idea to check references so see if the instructor has other
clients. Unless the intended recipient has their own gear,
determine if the price of the lessons includes equipment
rental. See if liablility insurance is included in the
price as well, in case of accident. Should sickness or an
emergency arise, ask if rescheduling is possible.
Hopefully the body of water where the lessons will be given
is clean, wholesome, and safe. You don't want your friend
to learn how to dive in water that is polluted, prowled by
predators, or riddled with riptides or other problems.
Determine in advance that your friend will be able to get
to the body of water as scheduled. For example, if he or
she lives an hour away and works until 5 p.m., can he or
she arrive promptly for a 6 p.m. lesson? What happens in
case of a traffic jam? Will the lesson begin late or will
your friend lose that part of the lesson?
You will want to ensure that there is no hard sales tack
behind the lessons. If you get a great price for six
lessons, does this entitle the trainer to push a certain
line of equipment on to your friend? Will there be a hard
sell for more lessons or even to buy a boat? It is
important to ascertain that the lessons come as a package
deal without further infringements or expectations of your
friend's commitment.
Scuba diving lessons make an unusual and potentially
life-changing gift. Bestow them on the kind of person who
will enjoy the challenge of such an adventure, not someone
who will never put them to use. Check the ins and outs of
the gift before buying it, and find out whether it is
refundable just in case your friend has second thoughts.
