8. ITINERARY

We strongly recommend that guests arrive at least one day prior to the charter start date.

La Galigo will not be held responsible for any missed flights or other connections.

The La Galigo team has created a schedule based on the best time of t h e year to be in Raja Ampat/ Komodo/ Wakatobi, considering conditions such as swell, waves, wind, and tidal behavior. La Galigo has no control over natural climatic conditions, and the Indonesian weather system is notoriously unpredictable. Regardless of what your itinerary states, if the captain feels that travelling to a certain area due to any of the above factors may jeopardize the safety of the boat, its crew, and passengers, the captain’s word is final. Please do not feel that we are trying to compromise your trip, there are many dive sites around the areas we travel, and it is often possible to avoid unfavorable weather and ocean conditions within a short journey.

Your safety is our number one priority; we pride ourselves on providing you with the best possible trip, within our operating capacity.

9. PASSPORTS, DOCUMENTATION, CERTIFICATION

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your period of travel and have at least 2 empty pages within it. You are required to have a return ticket, outbound from Indonesia, prior to entering Indonesia.

Customers are responsible for ensuring they have the proper documentation to travel into each country on their itinerary, as well as for re-entry and return to their Country. Please check with the appropriate consulate to ensure you have the proper documentation. Always check your passport and visa requirements.

To partake in any scuba diving activity with La Galigo, we will require that you, the customer, hold a valid certification from a recognized scuba diving agency such as SSI, CMAS, BSAC, PADI or similar. The customer is responsible, as a certified diver, to respect and follow the guidelines given by the La Galigo guides and instructors, plus adhere to the regulations stipulated by their certification agency. Clients are solely responsible to provide a diving medical statement or physician’s medical dated within the last 12 months, certification card and logbook. Ignoring the directions given by the guides, or not presenting certification card, logbook or valid medical paperwork may cause a limitation or disqualification from scuba diving on the voyage. The diver accepts their responsibility to be technically capable of participating 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 La Galigo guides, to refuse access to one, several or all dives, if the diver in question does not have the necessary competence to participate safely.

10.MEDICAL AND HEALTH

La Galigo or its staff are not legally allowed to provide you any medical advice or supply prescription drugs, as in the law of Indonesia. If you are unsure about any medical matter, then please seek advice from your general practitioner before scuba diving and similar activities. Likewise, if you are unsure about your physical level of fitness for the itinerary you wish to book, please inform our office and we can discuss your needs in more detail.

Before commencing any holiday, one should be physically able to enjoy themselves. The activities that La Galigo offer can be physically demanding, and as such you will be required to be reasonably physically fit to participate and enjoy these activities. Activities include hiking to view points as well as diving. Discomfort, displeasure and pain resulting

from the inability to do said activities as a result of physical unfitness are not ground for complaint or refund. We recommend a complete physical before your trip. There is a DAN certified recompression chamber located in Bali.

If you have any health problems, are on any form of medication or have had any illness, injury or operation that may affect you whilst diving, please let your booking agent know in advance. As we require an up to date medical statement confirming you are fit to dive. Failure to inform us about this may result in you not being able to dive, as it may not be able to be obtained from local Indonesian general doctors that are not specialist in hyperbaric medicine. Failure to disclose such prior information, may result in your insurance being invalid, or your trip being a non-diving one.

Anyone with specific dietary requirements, including vegetarian/ vegan diets, or food intolerances or allergies should advise us at least 61 days before the trip. Should you have any restrictions or requirements and not inform our booking office previous to your trip departure, it may be difficult or impossible to meet such requirements.

La Galigo is equipped with advanced first aid kits onboard, including oxygen and an AED. Currents and winds may cause moderate movement of the vessel at times. You may want to bring motion sickness medication if you feel you will need it. We suggest you bring over the counter motion sickness medication or consult your doctor about prescription brands, such as the trans-dermal patch or Scopace tablets. Please be sure to consult your Doctor about using such medications when diving. We also have an herbal alternative onboard that many people find successful, but as with anything that you consume for medical purposes, please be aware of its contents before consumption. La Galigo and their staff are unable to accept any medication brought onboard for safekeeping including those that require refrigeration. Should a guest have a medication requiring temperature control, they will need to travel with a travel cooling case or small storage cooler with several blue ice packets. The crew will be happy to store and recharge the blue ice packets but are unable to accept possession of, or responsibility for the proper care and storage of medication. This should be kept in your cabin.

Should you suffer from any of the conditions outlined below, please provide a signed medical statement from your doctor within the last 3 months.

Asthma. Please be aware that we do not accept divers with asthma if you have had an attack in the last 3 years – or those who take medication for prevention or treatment of asthma on all our dive trips. If you had an attack between 3-10 years ago, we will ask to see the results of a Spiro metric test (lung function test) dated not older than 3 months.

Diabetes. Unfortunately, we do not accept divers with this condition, as our staff are not medically qualified to a level to deal with any medical problems that may arise.

Thyroid Disease. Divers with thyroid disease or having no thyroid gland should bring a medical statement dated within the past 3 months proving that their cardiovascular system has been critically assessed.

La Galigo also cannot accept divers with Hypertension (high blood pressure) or divers using anti-depressants.

We would advise anyone with severe allergies to reconsider booking such a trip. The use of peanut oil and crustaceans are widespread throughout Asia, and due to our remoteness, it might be difficult to receive the right treatment for adverse reactions. We do not guarantee any and/or of our meals that there may be traces of nut and seafood.

Previous cases of DCS and DCI in the last 5 years require a medical clearance from a hyperbaric trained specialist.

Please note that for the above- mentioned conditions we do NOT accept medical statements issued locally in Indonesia, unless they are from an DAN or similar accredited hospital or clinic. If you need any assistance or further advice on this subject, please contact us for further information.

La Galigo is not willing to risk your life or endanger those around you by overlooking such conditions. Please be aware, that due to our location, medical attention is not always easy to obtain. It might, in a worst- case scenario require medical evacuation; La Galigo holds no responsibility or liability for medical evacuation costs.

Failure to make La Galigo and your insurers aware of any existing conditions may lead to your insurance being invalid and/or being refused diving activities whilst onboard.

The insurance should cover you personally for incidents such as; accidents, medical assistance, baggage, trip / flight cancellation and / or interruption, personal liability and effects, when a reservation is made. All guests should ensure they have appropriate insurance to cover the activities they will be undertaking during their trip, regardless of risk.

Any complaints made using social media platforms, bypassing the customer service team and/or La Galigo office-management are not subject to any reimbursement.
