Cabin layouts, deck plans and equipment lists come from the operator and we send them with every quote. If a specific cabin matters to you, ask before you book.
The fine print, up front
What the cabin price covers, and what it does not
Normally included
- Cabin, all meals and soft drinks on board
- The dive schedule on the itinerary, usually three to four dives a day
- Tanks, weights and belt
- Guiding and dive briefings
- Airport or hotel transfer on embarkation day, on most boats
Normally extra
- Marine park, port and fuel fees, usually paid in cash on board
- Nitrox, unless the boat states it is free
- Gear rental: regulator, BCD, computer, torches
- Crew gratuity, customary at five to ten percent
- Flights, hotels and dive insurance, which you book yourself
This is the industry norm rather than a promise from any one boat. We confirm the exact inclusions in writing with the operator before you pay anything.
Before you commit
Where a trip quietly gets more expensive
This is the part booking engines leave out, and it is where a week gets a thousand dollars pricier than the headline. None of it is a surprise if you know it going in.
Marine park and port fees
Paid on board, almost always in cash, and rarely small. Egypt charges these per diver per trip. We tell you the current figure before you book.
Nitrox
Not available on this boat. If you dive nitrox routinely, say so and we will point you at a boat that has it.
Gear rental
Regulator, BCD, computer and torches are usually extra. Bringing your own is cheaper on any trip longer than a week, and you dive better in kit you know.
Crew gratuity
Customary across the industry and not included anywhere. Budget somewhere between five and ten percent of the trip price, in cash.
Flights and the night before
We do not sell flights, by design. Always plan at least one night on land before boarding: a delayed bag or a missed connection should not cost you the trip.
Dive travel insurance
Many operators require proof of cover to let you board. Get a policy with chamber treatment, evacuation and supplier insolvency. We will point you at one that has all three.
