Republic of Maldives
01Reservations & Deposits
A reservation is confirmed upon receipt of a deposit, which is either 50% of the total package price or the full cost of the domestic flight ticket — whichever applies to your booking. All payments must be made in USD. Written confirmation will be issued once the deposit has been received.
02Payment Methods & Fees
We accept card payments and bank transfers. A transaction fee of 3.5–4% applies to all card payments.

The remaining balance is settled at guest checkout, prior to departure from the island. All outstanding charges — including any additional expenses incurred during the stay — must be cleared at checkout before leaving.
04Domestic Flight Arrangements
Domestic flight tickets between Malé and Fuvahmulah are included in the package price. The following conditions apply:

- Domestic flight refunds are processed only after the airline disburses the funds.
- Guests are responsible for adhering to DAN guidelines regarding surface intervals before flying after diving (minimum 12–18 hours depending on dive profile).
