Beyond that the cancellation terms apply. In the Maldives, seaplanes are commonly used to transport you from Malé International Airport (where your international flight lands) to your resort. Seaplanes are strictly limited to flying during daylight hours and we advise you to arrive in Malé as early as possible to ensure that any potential delays to your international flight do not put your seaplane transfer at risk. If you miss the last seaplane transfer, you will need to book an overnight stay in Malé (at your own cost) and take your seaplane transfer the next day The maximum depth for diving in the Maldives is 30m Decompression diving is not allowed in the Maldives Diving within 24 hours of flying is strictly prohibited Diving with gloves is not allowed in the Maldives You will need to dive with both a dive computer and a surface marker buoy - both are mandatory and required by law First dive will be an orientation dive (if you have not dived in the Maldives in the last three months) due to legal requirements Travelers are responsible to be aware of covid travel guidelines, local rules, and procedures for the country they are travelling to and to maintain up to date knowledge of any changes regarding entry requirements or local guidelines.
