ITINERARY

We strongly recommend that guests arrive at least one day prior to the charter start date. Guests are also encouraged to book any return international at least 24 hours after the time of departure from The Seven Seas, thus allowing the body enough time to fully gas off, to enjoy some land-based activity, and to ditch your sea legs. The Seven Seas will not be held responsible for any missed flights or other connections.

The Seven Seas team has created schedules based on the best time of the year to be in Komodo, East of Flores and The Forgotten Islands, considering conditions such as swell, waves, wind, and tidal behaviour. The Seven Seas has no control over natural climatic conditions, and the Indonesian weather system is notoriously unpredictable. Regardless of what your itinerary states, if the Captain or Cruise Director feels that traveling to a certain area due to any of the above factors may jeopardize the safety of the boat, its crew, and passengers, the captain’s word is final.

Please do not feel that we are trying to compromise your trip, there are many dive sites around the areas we travel, and it is often possible to avoid unfavourable weather and ocean conditions within a short journey. Your safety is our number one priority; we pride ourselves on providing you with the best possible trip, within our operating capacity.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION – HOW TO GET TO THE TRIP DESTINATION 

• If you plan to arrive on the first day of the trip, it is mandatory to book your domestic flight through The Seven Seas, ensuring a smooth arrival of all guests, so that everyone can make the most of the first day. Kindly note that for some destinations, we require you to arrive one day in advance to catch the trip.

• If you decide to arrive one day or more before the trip, we are happy to assist you with hotel recommendations within your budget. Hotel pick-ups are scheduled around 9 AM to get you set for an amazing journey.

• A friendly reminder: Domestic flights in Indonesia can sometimes be delayed, rescheduled, or even canceled. For the same reasons, we highly recommend arriving a day before the trip begins. Additionally, we advise against booking an international flight on the same day as disembarkation to avoid any potential travel disruptions.

PASSPORTS, DOCUMENTATION, CERTIFICATION

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your period of travel and have at least two empty pages within it for visa stamp. You are required to have a return ticket, outbound from Indonesia, prior to entering Indonesia.

Customers are responsible for ensuring they have the proper documentation to travel into each country on their itinerary, as well as for re-entry and return to their country. Please check with the appropriate consulate to ensure you have the proper documentation. Always check your passport and visa requirements. This includes but not limited to COVID-19 related documentation that is required by the Indonesian government and your own country.

To partake in any scuba diving activity with The Seven Seas, we will require that you, the customer, hold a valid certification from a recognized scuba diving agency such as SSI, CMAS, BSAC, PADI or similar. The customer is responsible, as a certified diver, to respect and follow the guidelines given by The Seven Seas guides and instructors, plus adhere to the regulations stipulated by their certification agency. Clients are solely responsible to provide a diving medical statement or physician’s medical dated within the last 12 months and certification card. Ignoring the directions given by the guides, or not presenting certification card or valid medical paperwork may cause a limitation or disqualification from scuba diving on the voyage.

The diver accepts their responsibility to be technically capable of participating in the activity of scuba diving and fully accepts the risks associated. We reserve the right, for safety reasons, and at the discretion of The Seven Seas guides, to refuse access to one, several or all dives, if the diver in question does not have the necessary competence to participate safely.

All divers must be either Advanced Open Water certified with at least 20 logged dives, or Open Water certified, with at least 40 logged dives and have dived within the past 5 years. A mandatory refresher shall take place at our first dive site for anyone who hasn’t dived in the past year, which is included in the cost of the trip.

The Seven Seas was built, and the business developed, with protection and conservation as its primary focus. This includes guests’ behaviour toward the reef protection. We require all diving and snorkelling guests onboard to adhere to the following regulations:

  • Not harass marine life, for example chasing animals or touching corals without due care.
  • Be conscious of the length and position of my fins when swimming near any coral, be it hard or soft coral.
  • Utilise reef-safe sunscreen
  • Not purposefully break coral, or take anything naturally found underwater.
  • Be an environmentally and socially conscious photographer when taking photos/videos underwater.
  • Deliberate damage – any deliberate damage will result in a complete exclusion from in-water activities for the remainder of the trip, and the case will be passed on to the marine park authorities. The Seven Seas holds no responsibility for any malicious damage caused by any of its guests’ actions.

MEDICAL AND HEALTH

The Seven Seas or its staff are not legally allowed to provide you with any medical advice or supply prescription drugs, as per the law of Indonesia. If you are unsure about any medical matter, then please seek advice from your general practitioner before scuba diving and similar activities. Likewise, if you are unsure about your physical level of fitness for the itinerary you wish to book, please inform our office and we can discuss your needs in more detail.

Before commencing any holiday, one should be physically able to enjoy themselves. The activities that The Seven Seas offers can be physically demanding, and as such you will be required to be reasonably physically fit to participate and enjoy these activities. Activities include hiking to view points as well as diving. Discomfort, displeasure, and pain resulting from the inability to do said activities as a result of physical unfitness are not ground for complaint or refund. We recommend a complete physical before your trip. There is a DAN-certified recompression chamber throughout Indonesia.

If you have any health problems, are on any form of medication, or have had any illness, injury, or operation that may affect you whilst diving, please let your booking agent know in advance. As we require an up-to-date medical statement confirming you are fit to dive. Failure to inform us about this may result in you not being able to dive, as it may not be able to be obtained from local Indonesian general doctors who are not specialists in hyperbaric medicine. Failure to disclose such prior information may result in your insurance being invalid, or your trip being a non-diving one.

Anyone with specific dietary requirements, including vegetarian/ vegan diets, food intolerances, or allergies should advise us at least 60 days before the trip. Should you have any restrictions or requirements and not inform our booking office prior to your trip departure, it may be difficult or impossible to meet such requirements.

The Seven Seas is equipped with advanced first aid kits onboard, including oxygen and an AED. Currents and winds may cause moderate movement of the vessel at times. You may want to bring motion sickness medication if you feel you will need it. We suggest you bring over-the-counter motion sickness medication or consult your doctor about prescription brands, such as the trans-dermal patch or Scopace tablets. Please be sure to consult your doctor about using such medications when diving. We also have an herbal alternative onboard that many people find successful, but as with anything that you consume for medical purposes, please be aware of its contents before consumption.

The Seven Seas and their staff are unable to accept any medication brought onboard for safe keeping including those that require refrigeration. Should a guest have medication requiring temperature control, they will need to travel with a travel cooling case or small storage cooler with several blue ice packets. The crew will be happy to store and recharge the blue ice packets but are unable to accept possession of, or responsibility for the proper care and storage of medication. This should be kept in your cabin.

Should you suffer from any of the conditions outlined below, please provide a signed medical statement from your doctor within the last 3 months of the date of your trip departure:

  • Please be aware that we do not accept divers with asthma if you have had an attack in the last 3 years – or those who take medication for prevention or treatment of asthma on all our dive trips. If you had an attack between 3-10 years ago, we will ask to see the results of a spirometry test (lung function test) dated not older than 3 months of the date of your trip departure. Unfortunately, we do not accept divers with this condition, as our staff are not medically qualified to a level to deal with any medical problems that may arise.
  • Thyroid Disease. Divers with thyroid disease or having no thyroid gland should bring a medical statement dated within the past 3 months of the date of your trip departure proving that their cardiovascular system has been critically assessed.
  • The Seven Seas also cannot accept divers with Hypertension (high blood pressure) or divers using antidepressants without a signed medical statement from your doctor within the last 3 months of the date of your trip departure.
  • Expectant women are not recommended to partake in any scuba diving activity onboard The Seven Seas. Many complex processes occur during pregnancy, and insults (disruptions of normal events) can lead to varied complications. As with all research, diving during pregnancy does increase the risk to the fetus, and the consequences could be devastating to all involved. We would advise anyone who is trying to conceive or is already pregnant, avoids all types of diving to ensure your baby is born healthy and free of complications.
  • We would advise anyone with severe allergies to reconsider booking such a trip. The use of peanut oil and crustaceans are widespread throughout Asia, and due to our remoteness, it might be difficult to receive the right treatment for adverse reactions. We do not guarantee any and/or of our meals that there may be traces of nuts and seafood. Previous cases of DCS and DCI in the last 5 years require a medical clearance from a hyperbaric trained specialist.

Please note that for the above-mentioned conditions we do NOT accept medical statements issued locally in Indonesia unless they are from DAN or a similar accredited hospital or clinic. If you need any assistance or further advice on this subject, please contact us for further information.

The Seven Seas is not willing to risk your life, the vessel, or endanger those around you by overlooking such conditions. Please be aware, that due to our location, medical attention is not always easy to obtain. It might, in a worst-case scenario requires medical evacuation; The Seven Seas holds no responsibility or liability for medical evacuation costs.

Failure to make The Seven Seas and your insurers aware of any existing conditions may lead to your insurance being invalid and/or being refused embarkation, and/or diving activities whilst onboard.

INSURANCE

A fully comprehensive travel insurance is now mandatory. The insurance should cover you personally for accidents, medical assistance, baggage, trip cancellation and interruption, personal liability and effects, when a reservation is made. All guests should ensure they have appropriate insurance to cover the activities they will be undertaking during their trip, regardless of risk. Please be advised that if guests choose not to carry travel insurance, The Seven Seas will not be held responsible for any unforeseen financial expenses caused by reasons beyond our control.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, both travel insurance and scuba diving insurance are now mandatory.
