for any damage to equipment that is the result of negligence, including exposure
to heat or cold. Students will also be charged for the return of equipment that
has not been properly rinsed following open water training.
All rental equipment is
due back to Aquatic Adventures, Inc. by 7:00 p.m. on the next business day following
the final day of confined water training or by 2:00 p.m. on the final day of open water training. Students who
pick up equipment and then fail to show up for a confined water or open water
training dive must return their gear by 7:00 p.m. on the next business day. Any
student who fails to return gear at the appropriate time will be charged the
standard rental charge for each day the equipment is late. No certifications or
university grades will be issued to students who fail to return their gear or
have outstanding balances with Aquatic Adventures, Inc. that are the result of
late returns or damage due to negligence. Equipment that is not returned within
3 business days of the return date will be considered stolen and will be
reported to the appropriate authorities.
CERTIFICATION:
Open water training is NOT part of the Skin & Scuba program at the University of

fees. This fee is non-refundable. Students who fail to show up for an open water
dive will need to pay an additional $36 to register for another day. However,
the standard life-support equipment rental package fee is provided free of
charge as a courtesy to UWM Skin & Scuba students attending open water training.
