Additionally, if your dive guide feels your personal safety would be jeopardized on some dives they have the right to prohibit you from diving that site, at their discretion. If your training and experience is close to our recommended minimums it is possible to complete the Advanced Open Water course and Nitrox during a liveaboard safari. If you have any questions please contact us.
