If in the event of a cancelled charter, we will try and give you as much notice as possible. Any cancellations by Underwater Safaris will result in a FULL refund or reschedule where possible.
Cancellations or ‘no shows’ within our 72-hour cancellation policy will result in a 100% cancellation fee.
Passengers with back, neck, shoulder or heart conditions, or those who are pregnant or who have injuries/conditions that may cause a risk to their health must notify us before boarding the boat, we cannot permit those at high health risk to ride on the boat.

For example; not exceeding NDLs, surfacing with 50 bar minimum, and also NO flying for 24 hours after diving.

Customers must acknowledge that any diving equipment used or borrowed is your responsibility, and you are financially accountable for any loss or damage to Underwater Safaris gear as a result of carelessness or misuse.
