Everflex 5/3mm Hood

We wanted to show our appreciation to our awesome adventurers (that's you by the way) so we've designed our "Dive Dollars" rewards program!

It's our way of rewarding you for shopping and diving with us. It's simple and just makes sense.

What is a Dive Dollar?!

A Dive Dollar is our name for a reward point. 

How do I get Dive Dollars?!

There's a few simple ways for you to earn Dive Dollars;

• Buy Stuff & Book Things - you get 1 Dive Dollar per 'real' dollar you spend, on every purchase you make. Dive or snorkel gear, PADI courses, trips, even air fills - get those rewards! 
• Become a member - sign up for rewards and we give you an epic 200 (!) Dive Dollar bonus to say "chur"! That's worth a $10 discount voucher right from the start!
• Do the Social Thing - like us on Facebook and / or Instagram and we'll give you 50 bonus Dive Dollars for each one.
• Have a Birthday - we'll give you some bonus Dive Dollars on your birthday too!

What do I do with my Dive Dollars?!

Spend them! As you build up your Dive Dollars balance, you'll reach stages where you can trade them in for real rewards, like a discount voucher or free shipping. 

• 100 Dive Dollars gets you a $5 discount voucher (these can be 'stacked', so 200 gets you a $10 voucher, etc etc). 
• 150 Dive Dollars gets you a free shipping voucher.  

But wait... there's more! Let's talk about referrals!

If you've had an awesome experience with us, and want to refer your mates / family / whānau then we'd really appreciate that. In fact, we'd appreciate it so much that if you make a referral;

• Your recipient gets a voucher for a $10 discount on a spend of $50 or more!
• You'll get a voucher for a $10 discount on a spend of $50 or more too, once the recipient has made their first purchase!

So now what?! I want those points and to refer my mates! 

Just click the "rewards" button on the bottom left of this page, sign up or sign in if you already have an account with us, and start collecting your rewards and referring people. It's that simple. 

I want to ask more things!

No worries - just click through to our contact us page and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. 

*Please note, from time to time we may tweak or change the rewards program, but your collected rewards will not expire (unless you choose to withdraw from the rewards program). 

Shipping 

90% of orders are delivered within 3 to 5 working days anywhere in NZ. Some more unusual items may not be in everyday stock with us, but will be in stock with our suppliers. In these circumstances it may take an extra day or two. 

We happily ship anywhere within New Zealand. For delivery to addresses on Waiheke, there is no shipping charge! 

We charge just $8.00 for delivery, NZ wide. 

There are 2 exclusions to the above pricing & offers - Cylinders and lead weight, which have custom shipping that is determined at checkout due to their weight. 

We’ll keep you updated throughout the delivery process, with notification and tracking when your items are dispatched.

Returns 

We have a ‘no worries’ return and exchange policy, where you can return your items to us within 14 days of receiving them for a full refund or exchange. 

We want you to be happy with your products, and can totally understand that online retail can make life more difficult with sizing choices.

Waiheke Dive & Snorkel will happily accept returns* within 14 days of purchase or delivery (whichever is longer) for a full refund (less shipping costs). Items must be in a brand new, un-used condition and must have all original tags and packaging.

If your order qualified for free shipping but, once the value of the returned items is taken into account, would not have qualified then we will issue a refund less the shipping costs for the order. The customer is responsible for any costs associated with returning the items to us. 

If items were part of a package which was sold at a discounted price from the original RRP, then the refund amount will be calculated by adding the full current sales price of all un-returned items and discounting this from the discounted price paid. This remaining balance is the amount that will be refunded for any returned items. 

Items that are returned to us but do not meet these conditions remain the property of the customer, and the customer is responsible for any shipping costs associated with returning their items to them. 

Funds are back in your account within 3 working days 95% of the time, but please be aware that it can (very rarely) take up to 10 working days for a refund to complete depending on the relationships between your and our banks.  

Exchanges

We are more than happy for you to exchange an item*, as long as it is returned to us within 14 days of purchase / delivery. Items must be in a brand new, un-used condition and must have all original tags and packaging.

If you want to exchange a wetsuit, boots, fins, or gloves then we will cover the shipping to get your new size to you for the first exchange! After the first size exchange, the customer is responsible for all shipping costs.

The customer is responsible for any costs associated with returning the items to us. 

*Please note - snorkels, and regulator mouthpieces are excluded from this returns policy for hygiene reasons. These policies also exclude dive courses, activities, servicing, air fills, gift vouchers and swimwear, where all sales are final.

Please read the following terms & conditions carefully before placing an order with us.

Dive / Snorkel Course and / or Activity Terms & Conditions 

(dive & snorkel courses, trips, tours, guided activities, charters and adventures!)

• Medical (Scuba)- You must check the 'Dive medical' before activating your PADI e-learning codes (if on a course) and before the activity starts. This medical form may highlight any potential issues that would prevent you from engaging in SCUBA activities, and must be completed before any in water session of your activity. Please complete the form accurately and honestly. If you answer 'yes' to any of the questions, then you need to attend your GP and get a formal written clearance to dive on the medical form. Failure to do so before the activity starts could see you being unable to dive and, as such, forfeiting your booking without refund. If you can answer all 'no' to the questions, then you do not need to visit your Dr. Click here to view the PADI Medical Form.
• COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Vaccination - As a vaccine certificate business for activities, it is a legal requirement that all clients who join us for activities are vaccinated against COVID-19 if they are eligible and considered medically able to be, and for their vaccine status to be verified via 'My Vaccine Pass'. 
  We are not able to accept unvaccinated individuals for any activities (other than those with an exemption through My Vaccine Pass, or those who are younger than the minimum approved age for vaccination).This applies at all levels of the protection system. 
  If you are unable or unwilling to provide evidence of the above, then you are not eligible to take part in an activity with us, and we respectfully request that you do not book an activity. If you do book an activity and then are unable or unwilling to provide evidence of the above, then you forfeit your entire booking and are not entitled to a refund. Click here for the full details on how the Protection Framework applies to you when accessing our services.
• Homework (courses only) - You must complete your assigned homework before the course start date. Failure to do so puts the entire group behind because we may not be allowed under PADI Standards to take you in the water before its complete. If this is the case, it means you automatically forfeit your entire booking with no refund, or may have to pay for catch up sessions.
• Swimming - For all water activities, you need to be a comfortable swimmer. For the PADI Open Water course, you are required to swim 200m non-stop and complete a 10 min tread water / float in water too deep to stand. This is completed early during your course and, failure to complete this means that you are not able to continue with your course without refund. 
• COVID Lockdown - In the event of local or national travel restrictions in either your home address or our address preventing activities from taking place, you will be offered an alternative date or a full refund of your booking fee excluding the cost of any activated e-learning if you've booked a course, as we are sadly unable to recover this cost from PADI once activated (but it is transferable to another store if required and had an indefinite lifespan). 
• Date Changes - We know that sometimes things happen, so we’re more than happy for you to change your dates free of charge with at least 7 days notice. We're a small business on a beautiful Island, but this means sometimes we have logistics that others don't need to think about. As such, changes with less than 7 days’ notice will forfeit 50% of the original fee, unless we are able to fill your space. Changes with less than 1 working days notice will forfeit 100% of the fee, unless we are able to fill your space. Changes to activity dates once your activty has begun or switching courses is not possible, and refunds will not be issued should you choose not to, or be unable to, complete your course for any reason. 
• Cancellations - We regret that we can not accept cancellations, so we recommend customers choose to reschedule instead to avoid loosing their course fee. You may transfer your booking to another individual, less the cost of any activated PADI e-learning if you're on a course. 
• Refunds - Seasickness, not feeling like diving / snorkelling, personal health, faulty equipment, inability to equalise, not liking the weather, or any other circumstantial or personal situations that are outside of our control are not valid reasons for a refund, and will not be accepted.
• Weather - SCUBA & snorkelling are weather dependent sports, and our experienced team will always make sure that your safety is out top priority. We'll always choose the best location that we can for our activities. In the event that the weather forces us to cancel an activity, you will be offered an alternative date or a refund. If an activity has begin and weather then forces a cancellation, we will offer an alternative date or a pro-rata refund along with the PADI Referral paperwork (if applicable) outlining exactly what has been completed so far. 
• Ropes Off - If you are late, it is entirely possible that the boat / charter / group will have left without you! Dive & snorkel trips are run to a schedule due to tides or other commitments for the charter company. If you've missed the trip then...well.. you've missed the trip and no refund will be given regardless of circumstance. 
• Certification - You must bring proof of certification (if applicable), and ideally your logbook, to be allowed to dive. Failure to do so means you will not be allowed to dive and will not be refunded. No proof of certification, no diving. 
• Equipment - Equipment use is included in Guided Snorkelling tours, the PADI Discover Scuba Diving program, the Discover Snorkelling Program and the PADI Open Water Course. For all other courses and activies, hire rates apply. 
• Gear Check - Please ensure that all your gear is fully working, serviced and suitable for the activity you are about to undertake, including any hire equipment. You must ensure all equipment is checked and working before boarding the charter vessel, regardless if it's hired or your own. Limited quantities of spares may be available, but we recommend all divers are self sufficient in terms of their equipment requirements. 
• Language - We can happily provide course materials in a variety of languages where available, however please be aware that all activities are conducted and taught in English and as such a good standard of spoken English is essential. We are experienced in teaching students whose first language is not English, but please remember SCUBA and snorkelling are adventure sports, and it is absolutely essential that all participants clearly understand what is expected of them, can understand all safety briefings and emergency procedures. 
• Alcohol - While Waiheke is often called the 'Island of Wine' please bear in mind that intake of alcohol and then SCUBA / snorkelling do not mix! If you have consumed alcohol before activities, are showing signs of intoxication, a hangover or staff have any reason to believe that this might be the case then you will not be permitted to take part and no refunds will be given.
• Safety - You will be expected to dive and snorkel within your certification and experience levels, and in accordance with the PADI safe diving practices at all times. Failure to do so may see you being prevented from continuing activities without a refund. 
• Insurance - For all overseas trips you are required to have current diving insurance. 
• Catch ups (courses only) – Our courses have a schedule that is designed to have the right balance between giving students time to learn and master their skills and progressing at an efficient pace while being more generous than many other dive stores, and this suits the vast majority of students. Occasionally however, some students need additional time to fully master the requirements of the course as they are unable to complete in the pre-determined time frame for whatever reason. In these circumstances, we are more than happy to arrange extra time with one of our Instructors, but this is at the student’s expense at the same pro-rata rate as their original course.
• Finally, please remember that you pay for the training, but you earn the certification! You have to earn a certification by completing a course, as required, to a certain standard. If you are unable or unwilling to do so, for any reason, then we are not able to certify you.
