DIVING

To partake in any scuba diving activity with EcoPro Divers, we will require that you as the customer hold a certification from a recognised scuba diving agency such as SSI, CMAS, NAUI and PADI or similar. It is the client’s responsibility, as a certified diver, to respect and follow the guidelines given by the EcoPro DIvers guides, instructors and cruise director plus to follow the regulations stipulated by their certification agency.

Clients are solely responsible to provide a certification card and log book. Ignoring the directions given by the guides, or not presenting certification card, log book may cause a limitation or disqualification from scuba diving on the voyage.

The diver accepts their responsibility to be technically capable and physically able to participate 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 EcoPro Divers guides, instructors and cruise director to refuse access to one / several / all dives if they do not have the necessary competence to participate safely or if the dive is considered beyond their current level of diving like strong currents etc.

All divers must either have Open Water with at least 30 logged dives in the past 5 years. All divers must produce a written/stamped logbook with your last dives and all necessary certification cards for the type of dives they wish to undertake. Dive insurance details MUST be provided on arrival. EAN Nitrox 32% will only be available to divers who are certified in this speciality.

ITINERARIES

All liveaboard itineraries are subject to various unpredictable changes including weather conditions and changes in Maldivian Government approval. Whilst EcoPro Divers make every effort we cannot guarantee diving at specific sites. In adverse weather conditions the guides and captain of the boat will have the final decision about which dive sites to visit to ensure that the guests, staff and boats safety is not compromised in any way. If in the unfortunate event that dives are missed or dive sites are not reached due to weather conditions or other unforeseeable changes, EcoPro Divers will not offer a refund or compensation.
