Free Dives Terms & Conditions

Smart Dive Travel Free Dives is a smartdivetravel.com loyalty program (the “Program”). When you book and dive 10 days through the Smart Dive Travel website, we give you 1 free day of diving to redeem. This free diving day include taxes and fees (“Free Dives”).

All bookings must be made online or with our call center. You can only collect diving days or redeem Free dives at an eligible diving activity (trip, course, package, Live-Aboard and etc).

The Program is open to anyone over 18 years old who signs up to smartdivetravel.com with a valid email address. Companies, associations, or other groups may not join.

Collecting dives

You will collect 1 day of diving for every day of diving at an eligible diving activity booked through the website. Eligible diving days will be counted as actual days of diving, not the package length (for example, for a 7 day cruise that includes only 5 days of diving you will collect only 5 diving days), The days of diving you will collect are described at the product description. Collect 10 Days of diving and we give you 1 free day of diving. You must be signed in to your smartdivetravel.com account when you book online so we can add the dives you collect to your account after your dives. If you make a booking with us by phone, you must tell us the email address on your account so we know where to add the dives. You will collect diving days for other guests on the same booking (e.g. if you booked a 5 day liveaboard trip for you and a buddy you will collect 10 days of diving)

We will add any diving days you collect to your account up to 7 days after you finish the dive activity. If you collect diving days but we later believe that you did not complete your trip (an “Invalid diving day”), we reserve the right to remove these Invalid diving days from your account. This could happen if you cancel your booking or did not turn up for the activity, which would make the diving days invalid. You cannot collect any Invalid diving days towards the 10 diving days you need to redeem a Free dive day.

You can check your account to see how many dives you have collected at any time. Just sign in at smartdivetravel.com, or phone our call center. You are responsible for making sure your account is correct. If you believe that you have not collected the correct amount of dives, we will look into this for you. If any bookings are invalid as mentioned earlier, we will remove them from your account.

In addition to the information above, you will not collect dives for the following:

1. Bookings made with an affiliate smartdivetravel.com site

2. Some bookings made using a discount coupon, voucher or code – you will need to check the terms for each of these

3. Group bookings

4. Bookings that do not cost you anything, i.e. are free

Redeeming Free dives

When you collect 10 diving days, we will give you 1 Free dive day as a Smart Dive Travel Gift Certificate to redeem at any eligible smartdivetravel.com supplier. You can redeem your Free dive day gift certificate online, or give us a call and we will make your booking for you.

The maximum value of your Free dive day gift certificate is based on the value of the 10 diving days you collected as long as they have not expired. This value is equal to the average daily rate, excluding taxes, additional items (such as gear rental, Nitrox and etc) and fees, of the dives you previously did. If you collected a dive day at a discounted rate, this price rather than the regular price will be used for the purposes of the calculation. You must pay for taxes, fees, meals and any other costs associated with your Free Dive Day.

If you used different currencies when collecting your 10 diving days, the value of each diving day is currently calculated as USD.

Free diving days are subject to all applicable booking terms and conditions. You will not collect a diving day when you redeem your Free Dive Day. If you book a multiple days of diving activity, such as liveaboard, package, course and etc’, you will be able to collect diving days but we will deduct 1 day from the count (For example for 5 day liveaboard you will collect only 4 days toward your next free dive day). Collected diving days have no cash value, and you cannot redeem your Free Dive Day for cash.

If you redeem your Free Dive day on an activity that is less than the maximum value of your Free Night, you will not get the difference in cash. The value remains remain valid until the entire value has been utilized or the expiry date has passed, subject to relevant local laws per the Smart Dive Travel Gift certificate terms and conditions above. You can redeem your Free Dive day on an activity that costs more than the maximum value of your Free Night – you will need to pay the difference.

If you have more than 1 Free Dive Day Gift Certificate to redeem, you can choose which booking you want to apply it to. You cannot combine your Free Dive Day with any other offer, discount coupon, voucher or code, unless the terms for each of these say you can. This means that when you book an activity and redeem your Free Dive Day, you generally will not be able to get an additional discount on that booking.

Free Dive Days are subject to all applicable cancellation policies that are passed onto us by the Website Supplier. If you cancel a Free Dive Day within the supplier’s cancellation policy, we will return it to your account within 72 hours of your cancellation. If you cancel a Free Dive Day outside of the supplier’s cancellation policy, it will not be returned to your account.

If you want to change the dates of a booking that includes the Free Dive Day you redeemed, you can call or email our customer service or to cancel the booking online, wait for the Free Dive Day Gift Certificate to be returned to your account, then rebook so you can apply your Free Dive Day Gift Certificate to your new booking.

Changes and Termination

Your Dive Days collected will not expire as long as you keep your account active at least once every 24 months. This means you must collect a Dive Day or redeem a Free Dive Day in that time, and when you do, the expiry date will be extended for another 24 months. If you do not collect diving Days or redeem Free Dive Days in a 24 month period, your Dive days will expire and we may deactivate your account. If this happens, your diving days will not be reissued. Sign into your account to check when your diving days are due to expire.

We may change our terms and conditions at any time, with or without notice, including the rules for collecting diving days, the rules for redeeming your Free Dive days, the list of eligible suppliers, and the maximum value of a Free Dive Day. We may communicate these changes to you by email or on our website so please make sure you check your account regularly.

Smart Dive Travel Free Dive Days has no end date and will continue until we close it, which could happen at any time. If we do close the Program, you will have 30 days from when we announce its closure to redeem any Free Dive Days you have in your account. After that date, you will lose your Free Dive Days and you will not be compensated.

By continuing to collect diving days and redeem Free dive days with Smart Dive Travel, you accept any changes to these terms and conditions. You are responsible for keeping up to date on any changes that we may make. The most current version will always be available on our website.

If we discontinue your membership, you may lose your collected diving days and benefits. We also have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including criminal prosecution if necessary.

While you are signed up to Smart Dive Travel Free Dive Days, we may communicate any updates to your account or transactions to you by email. We may take back your Dive Days at any time. You cannot sell or transfer your diving days, or combine them with another member’s diving days. Diving days are not transferable if a member dies, if there is a domestic relations issue, or otherwise by operation of law.

Passports, Visas & Insurance

When you book international reservations with third-party suppliers using this website, you are responsible for ensuring that you meet all foreign entry requirements and that your travel documents, including passports and visas, are in order.

For passport and visa requirements, please consult the relevant embassy or consulate for information. Because requirements may change at any time, be sure to check for up-to-date information before booking and departure. Smart Dive Travel accepts no liability for travelers who are refused entry onto a flight or into any country because of the traveler's failure to carry the travel documents required by any airline, authority, or country, including countries the traveler may just be passing through en route to his or her destination.

As visa and health requirements are subject to change without notice, we recommend that you verify health and visa requirements with the appropriate consulate prior to departure. It is also your responsibility to consult your physician for current recommendations on inoculations before you travel internationally and to ensure that you meet all health entry requirements and follow all medical guidance related to your trip.

We strongly recommend that you purchase a comprehensive diving and travel insurance policy prior to departure to protect your Product purchase. If you cancel your trip or significantly alter travel dates, your travel insurance policy may reimburse the cost of cancellation fees and related expenses. Please review your travel insurance policy carefully for related terms and conditions.

Although most travel, including travel to international destinations, is completed without incident, travel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others. Smart Dive Travel urges passengers to investigate and review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements and advisories issued by the United States Government and destination country governments prior to booking travel to international destinations. Information on conditions in various countries and the level of risk associated with travel to particular international destinations can be found at www.state.govwww.tsa.govwww.dot.govwww.faa.govwww.cdc.govwww.treas.gov/ofac and www.customs.gov.
