Diving experience & safety:

• Most dives are suitable for all divers. Some dives may be beyond someone with 15 logged dives. If that is the case then we will assess prior to each dive, and if we feel the safety of anyone is compromised we may ask them to sit the dive out*. The cruise leader’s decision is final and is always based on safety.
  
  
• We also try to make up groups, 4 divers to 1 dive master based on the request, experience, and other factors. All guests currently booked on this trip are experienced divers. We also offer the services of a private guide*: USD900 for the trip (based on USD150/ night for the duration of the trip). While I shall NOT enforce for this trip it can be requested & paid for prior to the trip.
  
  
• We welcome all guests onboard. For those who are inexperienced, we may insist on a private guide, subject to availability, or ask them to sit our dives beyond their experience. The cruise leader's decision is final and based on the safety of this guest and all guests onboard.
• An experienced diver is someone considered to have 50 dives or more. Ideally, but not compulsory, we recommend that our divers be Advanced Open Water (AOW) divers. This will see them have more ability, confidence, awareness, experience, and more importantly a better understanding of their own and buddies' safety.
  
  
• Private Guide; our diver groups are made of 1 dive master to 4 to 5 divers. If we have 1-3 guests with very little experience we will insist on having a Private Guide: USD900 for the trip (USD150/ day for the entire trip’s duration) This will allow them to make dives up to their least conservative experience of the group. We will also advise whether certain divers are suitable for their experience level. Where possible we will offer an alternative. Where we cannot we may ask them to sit out a dive. The Cruise Leader's decision is final. All decisions are based on the safety of all concerned.
