The on board bar will be open selling snacks, non-alcoholic drinks and will have complimentary natural seasickness tablets available (stronger medication available for purchase).

The crew will be handing out medical questionairre forms for both scuba diving and snorkelling, some conditions and medications may prevent you from scuba diving so it’s best to ask your Tour Specialist consultant about this at the time of booking.
