■Warning on Fraudulent Final Check Test-taking.
Please be advised that, when, after having completed the final check and during the practical skills training orientation’s usual review questioning, the partner dive shop instructor has suspicion to believe that the student has, in fact, not completed the net-diver school course himself/herself, but rather it was completed by a third party, the instructor is permitted to re-examine the student. If the results demonstrate that the student acted fraudulently, the partner dive shop may decline to continue training.
