Our professional guides are locals and familiar with the country as a whole and will make every effort to avoid any unfortunate incidents. The locations have been carefully selected for being scenically beautiful and safe.
We highly recommend that you have travel insurance and/or comprehensive medical insurance in case of an emergency. It is necessary to provide us with this information before you arrive so that we can assist in ensuring you have access to private healthcare facilities and services. The alternative is government healthcare facilities where you may not receive specialised treatment, especially in the event of a diving related emergency. It's always advisable to get dive accident cover from Divers Alert Network (DAN).
If you haven’t dived for six months, international best diving practice recommends that you do a PADI ReActivate Scuba Refresher Program. You can do this before the trip or it can be done while on tour. We have factored time in for refresher training and you can select it under 'More options' when booking.
The tours are designed to accommodate qualified divers and guests who want to learn to dive with exception to the required advanced certification for the Hammerhead Mass Migration & Big 5 Safari Tour. Select the PADI Open Water Diver Course, PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver Course or PADI Deep Diver Course under 'More options' when booking. The training is provided by world class dive operators, at an additional cost and learners will receive certification after completing the course. Diving gear is included in the course. Course theory component must be completed electronically before arriving for the tour. PADI Course Registration and login will be sent to you after booking.
The rental gear is good quality, so this is not necessary, but as divers we understand if you bring gear along. Please check with your airline regarding the limitations on dive gear. Dive computers are not provided, it is advisable to bring along your dive computer. Â
Diving forms a key part of all our tours so there are limited spaces available for non-divers for each trip. There is an add-on where your partner/friend can learn to dive at an additional cost. Course theory component must be completed electronically before arriving for the tour. PADI Course Registration and login will be sent to you after booking. If this however is not an option your partner/friend is welcome to join at an adjusted tour fee less the cost of diving. We do not however provide alternative activities while the group is diving.
Rooms are booked based on per person sharing. An additional cost will apply to those who choose not to share units and prefer their own unit or room and can be selected as a 'Solo Accommodation Supplement' under 'More options' when booking. This will however depend on the availability of units.
There are larger units available at a number of the venues. We will strive to book these as per guests requests and needs.
