It's often been asked if we will cancel a dive in advance. The answer is NO !! However, with the price of fuel raising and the economy shrinking, all efforts will be made to help control unnecessary trips to the boat. Weather forecasting is an art, not a science. Forecasters are often wrong. We all have have heard “calm winds, seas 2 - 3 Ft. all day” while 6 - 8 footers go skiing across the bow. On the boat we have been 40 miles offshore on a perfect day with the forecast calling for “4 - 6 Ft. building to 6 - 8" That is why they call it predicting” the weather not “telling”!! When in doubt the procedure will be to load up and see for our selves. There is never a charge for “sticking our nose out” If the weather means we do an inshore dive as opposed to the scheduled offshore one, we will charge for the destination we dove, not the one scheduled. If we get to the intended destination and only get one dive in, full fare has been earned. This policy is the same for all trips on the John Jack.
