Just wanted opinions from some dive instructors or store owners. I signed up for lessons from my LDS this past fall. Took the class and completed 2 of the 4 open water dives. After my 2nd dive I got out and my hearing was off. Sort of like trying to talk with a fish bowl over your head. Anyhow I showed up at the site for the 3rd dive, and mentioned to my instructor that my hearing was still off. She said that I should not dive and she needed me to bring a doctors release back before she could let me dive again "which I did" Well this was the last class of the year, so they said I would have to wait till spring to finish. I just talked to her and she is telling me that to complete my dives I have to pay an additional 25.00 for training and 75.00 for equipment rental. Even if I join an existing class for the last 2 dives. I kinda felt that since I was told I could not dive, and I already paid that there would be no charge when I came back in the spring. She says just because I had to cancel my last 2 dives does not mean she can ask one of her employees to work for free. Is this standard in the industry? I mean the money is really nothing, just doesn't seem right to me.
