The itineraries below are the most-common for each trip, but these can sometimes be changed for a number of reasons. Small changes are made due to weather & sea conditions, special marine life sightings, overcrowded dive sites, local-authorities' instructions, and the needs & requests of the paying guests. The safety & comfort of all guests is most important at all times.

We don’t ask for any payment or your card details until you are ready to confirm your booking.
For safety reasons, it’s impossibleto complete a booking instantly online, as some other websites claim to offer. We always check first as each boat has a different criteria regarding diver details & experience.
We offer each boat’s booking & payment policy (below). Some other websites have standardised terms, asking for full payment but many boats’ payment terms are a 20-30% deposit, and the balance paid on arrival.
Our Thailand-based staff are experts about logistics, the dive sites & all the boats. Take a look at the reviews on our site & tripadvisor.
Our team are always online to answer your questions. We always respond the same day, usually within a few minutes
Customer service is everything!
For example, if a trip is cancelled, we will ensure you can choose between an alternative similar trip or a full & unconditional refund.
