Itinerary changes do not give you the right to cancel your trip Taxes, levies, or surcharges, if applicable, are indicated in the Online Booking System during the checkout process for informational purposes. Supplements, government taxes, marine park fees, fuel surcharges, harbour fees, rental equipment and other upgrades or surcharges are subject to change at any time pre-booking or post-booking. These changes can be driven by local conditions, extreme weather, changes to government policy, operator decisions, oil prices, or other factors. Changes are outside PADI Travel's control and travelers are responsible to pay any increases. A change in these fees or surcharges does not grant travelers the right to cancel a reservation or dispute the surcharges.

Getting there

On arrival: Guests arriving at the required airport on the check-in day will be met by a representative, wearing a uniform and holding a sign representing the boat for your trip. The meeting point is at the main exit, after you have collected your luggage. Transfers to and from the liveaboard: Transfers to and from the boat and to the local airport will be arranged in the morning of your arrival and departure and in accordance to your flight time. Boat will sail early morning of the next day Check out Check out is at anytime up to midday on the day of departure. For guests continuing their holiday in Indonesia at a resort, hotel or another liveaboard, your on-going transfers need to be arranged by you from the airport. We will not be able to arrange direct transfers from the liveaboard to resorts. Domestic / Internal Flights It is highly recommended that travellers arrive 90 minutes before departure for domestic flights due to check-in delays in remote locations. It is also recommended to book the earliest possible flight to the departure city of the boat in case of delays. Emperor Divers Indonesia cannot be held responsible for delays and cancellations of domestic airlines and cannot wait for departure to the following day with all other guests onboard. Some domestic airlines allow only 10-15 kilos of baggage but excess baggage is usually only charged at RPH20-30,000 per kilo. (approx. US $2.00). Garuda Indonesia is our recommendation for the most reliable, diver (baggage) friendly airline.
