Excursions included in the cost are to be negociated on
a case by case basis.

Relocation fees of US$ 900 per day will be charged if
necessary.

Air Transportation

All cruises start and end in a city that is a regional hub of air transportation (Ambon, Sorong, Manado, Maumere, Bima...), linked to the international airports of Jakarta (Java) and Denpasar (Bali).
Although we generally take care of organising the domestic flights to reach and fly off these towns, participants are always free to make their own arrangements.

Immigration

Nationals of most countries don't need visas to enter Indonesia and are granted a visa-free entry for 60 days upon arrival. Check out with your local Indonesian authorities.

Your passport must have at least one empty page to be stamped upon arrival and must be valid for at least 6 months after the date of your depature from Indonesia.

Diving Conditions

Diving the Indonesian reefs can be one of the best holiday experiences one ever had, and we do everything to make the best out of it. In particular, the equipment we carry is of superior quality and never more than 3 years old. Our dive master on board will organise all dives and will guarantee that these are made in the safest environment.

Divers are nevertheless advised that:

We only accept divers with a recognised diving license
(CMAS, NAUI, PADI,..). Divers will be required to produce the
licence.

Diving on our regular cruises is never the sole or even
the main activity on board. There is usually one,
sometimes two, dives a day, but sometimes also none.

Divers will dive at their own risk and will be required to
sign a responsability waiver before diving.

We carry all the necessary equipment: BCD's belts, regulator with octopus and tank. Please bring your own mask, snorkel, fins and computer if you have any.

Insurance

We strongly recommend that you protect yourself with an illness and accident coverage insurance for the days you spend on board. The remoteness of the islands we visit may make an emergency medical evacuation very costly.
Please check your insurance coverage includes diving accidents.


What to bring along

Mostly light clothing with perhaps a sweater in case
you want to stay on deck during night sailing, and a 
ight raincoat if you are afraid of tropical showers.

Hiking boots, preferably soft.

Dive booties or plastic shoes.

Hat

Insect repellent and plenty of sun protection cream.

Small electrical appliances can be used on board
(220V)

We have a well appointed first aid kit on board and we
will be able to face all small emergencies, but you may
prefer bringing along your own (plasters, disinfectants,
antibiotic creams, burns repair, etc... even general
antibiotics). Of course, if you have a particular health
problem, check first with your doctor if it is safe to
undertake such voyage and bring along any medication
you might need.
