Exceeding these limits will result in immediate and non refundable cancellation and the offending diver(s) will be required to leave the trip.

6.1 The Company reserves the right to modify, delay and/or cancel diving arrangements where the remoteness or inaccessability of the diving destination, local custom, Acts of Nature as well as war, political unrest and other hostilities or other technical difficulties cause the arrangements to become unsafe, perilous and/ or impracticable.

6.2 Where adverse weather conditions prevail, making it dangerous or inadvisable for the boat to travel, the Company shall reserve the right to delay or postpone sailing until more favourable conditions prevail.
