Why?

Why do you think they're entitled to a refund if they lied about their
experience and ability?

You're assuming that the divers told the truth about meeting the
prerequisites.

I assume nothing.

Neither one of was was there so we don't even know if any
prerequisites were put forth. Other than the usual two - must be
certified and must pay for the service.

We also don't know whether or not the divers lied or told the truth.

You're assuming that knowledge is forever.
