These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the use of Blue-lens.com ("the Website"), operated by Fly and Dive SLU, located in Andorra. By accessing and using our Website, booking a workshop, enrolling in online tutorials, or using our post-production services, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms.

1. Introduction

By accessing and using our Website, booking a workshop, enrolling in online tutorials, or using our post-production services, you agree to these Terms.

2. Booking Workshops

2.1 Booking Process:

You must confirm your participation at least 60 days before the start of the workshop. If places are still available, bookings may be made up to 7 days before the workshop begins. However, if you book less than 60 days before the start date, you are required to pay the full amount of the workshop at the time of booking, with no option for a deposit. The minimum number of participants varies by workshop, typically 8, but may be lower. The maximum number of participants is never more than 12.

2.2 Prerequisites:

The required diving level for each workshop depends on the type of workshop. As a general rule, participants must have a minimum certification of Advanced Open Water (PADI, SSI, or other international certification) or Level 2 CMAS. Participants must also have at least 50 logged dives. You must bring your own photographic or video equipment. If you do not have your own, Blue-lens.com can provide rental equipment, but you must notify us when paying the deposit.

2.3 Late Arrival:

If you arrive late, you will lose the days of the workshop and the activities, including diving sessions, that take place during your absence. No refunds will be provided in case of late arrival or illness during the workshop.

2.4 Diving Safety:

Participants are responsible for their own safety while diving, as the required diving level ensures each diver is capable of managing their safety. However, divers will always be accompanied by a member of the Blue-lens team or its dive service provider. Despite this accompaniment, each diver remains fully responsible for their own safety. Insurance is not included in the workshop (as stated on the product pages of the Website).

2.5 Inclusions and Exclusions:

The price includes accommodation, meals, and internal transportation during the workshop. Flights are not included. Dive equipment is not included but can be rented at an additional cost. When available, NITROX is always provided free of charge.

2.6 Use of images and videos captured by Blue Lens:

All photos and videos taken by Blue Lens teams during the workshops are the exclusive property of Blue Lens.

By accepting these general conditions, participants consent to Blue Lens using these contents without requiring additional authorization. No remuneration or compensation will be due to participants for the use of these contents.
