Important Notes
Missed Lessons
If a student misses a lesson due to illness they will be able to request a make-up lesson ONLY on presentation of a medical certificate. This will be subject to availability of classes and therefore may be offered as a credit towards a future term or holiday program. If Diving Victoria has to cancel a lesson, you will be able to request a refund, credit or make-up lesson. If a lesson is missed due to holidays, school camp or any other commitments, no make up lesson will be available.
Class Changes
If you wish to change a class day, time or level part way through the term you may discuss this with your coach, however any final changes must be made through the Diving Victoria office, preferably via email (whitney@divingvictoria.com.au) so we can keep an accurate record of class numbers and so that you can be added to the correct mailing list.
Entry into MSAC (subject to change due to MSAC policies) – Prices for divers Under 16
A student entering MSAC for their dive lesson is required to pay diving single entry of $5.60. A 10 visit pass may be purchased for $48.00, or a 20 visit pass for $96.00. A parent accompanying a child or staying to watch the lesson is temporarily no charge. Parking at MSAC is $3 per hour. These fees are not included in the prices listed on the other side and are paid to MSAC reception upon entry.
Evaluations
The coaching staff will complete formal evaluations on divers’ progress in Terms 2 & 4 only.
Competitions (Term 2)
Pennant Week #5 (Saturday 20 May 2017 @ MSAC)
Pennant is a competition series suited to all levels of divers and aims to provide them with competition experience and the opportunity to monitor their progress throughout the season, which runs from July-June. There are six pennants held over this time period and this is the fifth for season 2016/17.
Each pennant consists of levels 1-10 plus open competition, and each level has different requirements. Students will need to check with their coach for the appropriate level to enter and the dives they will need to perform. Entries will close on the Sunday prior to the competition.
The pennant criteria (i.e. levels and dive requirements) can be found on the Diving Victoria website under EVENTS.
