4.1 Movement between Ranks

From Trial to full member

All members will start as bubblemakers for a minimum period of 2 weeks. This can be extended at the Officers' disgression to give the trialist additional time to meet the recruitments set to be promoted. The maximum time a member can be at this rank before they should be considered for promotion or a failed trial is 1 month. Once promoted the Bubblemaker will be a Snorkeller (raiding trialist) or Beach Dweller (social trialist).
Once a Snorkeller the raiding trialist will have passed their inital trial and will enter a time to settle into the guild. This is a minimum of 1 month from the time of being promoted and again can be extended by the Dive Instructors' upto a maximum of 2 months at which time they should be considered for promotion, demoted for a retrial or possibly asked to leave the guild.
Once the time as a Snorkeller is complete they will be promoted to Scuba Diver.

It should be noted that full access to the guildbank facilities is granted to Scuba Divers/Beach Dwellers. (Some exceptions may apply to BoE gear).
At the rank Snorkeller and above a member can have alts invited to the guild.
