For each guest we provide a big and a small towel as well as a bathrobe, the towels will be changed once in the middle of the safari.
– On the first day, your dive guide will make a briefing about the boat and procedures.
– Diving equipment is not allowed in the salon or the cabins. The salon and cabins are strictly dry areas due to the difficulty of drying moisture stains on the material.
– Each cabin has portholes. We suggest that you open them as often as possible to let in fresh air to compensate for the air condition circulating the air. However, make sure you close the portholes while the boat is sailing.
– It is not allowed to take bed sheets, covers or mattresses out of the cabin on the deck.
– If you wish to sleep outside, please bring with you a sleeping bag and use the mattresses from the sundeck.
– All our motor vessel have ensuite shower facilities for your comfort. Bathroom towels are provided to our guests as well as bathrobes.
– Still, we recommend bringing your own towel for use outside the cabin.
– Please don’t use too much shampoo and soap because shower water eventually ends up in the sea. It is better to buy world-known ecologically friendly products that don’t affect the environment. Please help us preserve nature.
– Please don’t throw anything in the toilet bowls, including toilet paper and sanitary pads, to avoid toilet blocks and damage to the ecosystem. Garbage bins are placed in the toilets, especially for that purpose.
– Apart from soft drinks, coffee, tea & water, several kinds of beer and local wines are available for purchase onboard of each of our liveaboards.
– Needless to say, we provide full board accommodation (3 meals and 1 snack) for all our clients during their stay onboard.
– Onboard we only have basic emergency medication. If you feel the need may arise for any special medication during the trip, please take a small supply with you.
– In any case, don’t forget stomach and diarrhea medication, seasickness tablets or plasters and ear drops and please make sure it will not affect your ability to dive.
– As for the safety on board, life jackets, life rafts, many floating devices are available. You can find fire extinguishers in the cabins, salon and engine room.
– Upon your arrival onboard, please familiarize yourself with the location and operating methods of the safety devices.
– The diving safari crew onboard speaks English. Our dive guides all speak English plus a variety of languages, including German, Spanish, Italian, French, Russian and Polish. Please inform us if you need a specific language.
– We have 220 volts power and we suggest that you bring a European normal adaptor.
– It is not allowed to smoke in the cabins, salon or diving area. The liveaboard has fire alarms installed for your safety which are activated with a little amount of smoke.
