Trip FAQ’s

Bali (I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport)

5. The best fast boat company is Eka Jaya and the journey is approx 1 hour
30 minutes
We can help organise this journey in the Facebook Messenger group chat upon booking!

What wetsuit thickness is best?

We recommend bringing a 2mm full freediving wetsuit with a hood (to keep your hair out of your face) This is mostly for full sun protection while we are out diving each day. You can also dive in a spring suit if you wish, but we recommend bringing a full wetsuit. A surfing steamer would also do the trick.

Cancellation and Refunds Policy?

The $500 deposit is non-refundable

If for any reason you have to cancel and let us know at least 90 days before the trip, you’ll be able to transfer the amount you have paid onto any future courses or trips.

If you cancel within 90 days before the trip start date, we cannot refund you. You are able to transfer your ticket onto someone else.

We recommend getting travel cancellation insurance upon booking your spot on the trip, to save you any financial hardships if you need to cancel your trip. You can get travel insurance that covers this.
