To the maximum extent permitted by New Zealand law, Freedive Aotearoa, its instructors, and staff shall not be liable for any injury, loss, or damage arising from your participation. This does not exclude liability for negligence where prohibited by the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or other applicable legislation.

Code of Conduct

All participants are expected to behave respectfully towards instructors, other students, and the ocean environment. We reserve the right to remove any participant who behaves in a manner that endangers themselves, others, or the environment, without refund.
