Guide's Notes

Your passport must be valid for at least six months after the date you plan to return home from your trip.
It is your responsibility to review and comply with the vaccination requirements and visa / immigration requirements for the countries you are visiting.
Diving accident insurance (which includes medical evacuation) is mandatory for all who dive: it is your responsibility to have adequate coverage and bring your certificate as proof.
All dive passengers must provide their dive certification card and log book – you will not be able to dive unless you can demonstrate that you meet the minimum certification level of the boat.
Dive computers are a must – bring your own or coordinate with us in advance to rent one.
Remember that it is your responsibility to ensure that you are fit to dive – some life cruises require that you present a medical certificate, often with a date of less than two years or less than a year, showing that you can dive safely.
The itinerary and the number of dives are indicative and subject to weather conditions and may change in advance and during your trip, safety will always come first.
