Safety and Common Sense

We know that time and investment in holidays are valuable and you want to dive as many as you can. We fully understand that as we take diving holidays too!

Be assured that we are committed to provide you with as many dives as we can safely. Besides the obvious reasons why we will not let you go for a dive (stated in your registration form declaration), being well rested and rehydrated for your first dive is a good first step.

As always, itineraries are subject to weather, logistics and also importantly, where sites are better during the week of your cruise. Your cruise directors will constantly be updating you on the schedule/plans on board during your cruise.
