Arrival and departure questions and answers..

What is the ideal check in time ? - The staff will be at the airport from 8 am in the morning of check-in day.
They usually make at least one check-in in the morning that leaves the airport between 10:30 and 11:00 am, and one check-in in the afternoon that leaves the airport by 4:00 pm.
However they are very flexible and adapt the schedule according to the landing time of the guests and they are usually able to pick-up all guests as soon as they get out of International Arrivals.
What is the earliest check in time ? - The earliest check-in time is 11:00 am.
What is the latest check in time ? - The team can pick up customers until midnight. They adapt their schedule according to the landing time of the guests and are usually able to pick up all guests as soon as they exit International Arrivals.
Where are you met on the day of boarding ? - Guests are met between International Arrivals and the Info Desk of the airport.
The team always wears a Top Class Cruising uniform and holds a sign board with the name of the boat
Is there a check out dive on the boarding day or it is the following morning ? - A check-out dive is not usually scheduled on the boarding day; instead, activities such as snorkeling and happy hour are planned.
Due to guests often being tired and dehydrated from long journeys, the check dive is typically scheduled for the following morning.
However, if agreed in advance, such as with a full charter group arriving early in the morning, a check dive can be arranged on the arrival day.
What time does diving end on the day before check out (how many dives on the last day) ? - Diving on the day before check-out includes three scheduled dives.
What time is check out on the last day ? - Check-out on the last day is at 7:30 in the morning, allowing time for sanitizing, cleaning, and preparing for new arrivals who typically arrive around 11:00 or 11:30 on the same day.

All itineraries, dive spots, diving and other activities can be subject to various unpredictable changes due to weather conditions.
In adverse weather conditions the guides and the Captain of the boat and the dhoni, will have the final decision about which dive sites to visit to ensure that the Guests, staff and boat's safety is not compromised in any way.
In the unfortunate event that dives are missed or the dive sites are not reached due to weather conditions or other unforeseeable changes, the operator will not offer any refund or compensation for this.
