For the cruises of Banda Sea and Triton Bay, we recommend 50 logged dives and the Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
Please note, if your last logged dive is more than a year ago, you will need to participate in a refresher dive.

Dive insurance is required due the remote location of the trips and it is highly recommended that all passengers purchase travel protection to help protect you and your trip investment. For more information and to purchase dive and travel insurance, visit the providers below:
Diveassure: For annual combination trip and dive accident insurance. Includes cancellation due to Covid.
