Itinerary Details:
All dive trips, particularly those involving wreck diving, are contingent on the diver’s experience level and weather conditions. Liveaboard schedules are subject to approval by the Egyptian Government, Coast Guard, and Marine Police. Itineraries provided serve as general examples and may be adjusted based on weather or other circumstances. The final route will be coordinated with the group onboard, with the captain and guide making safety-focused decisions. While every effort is made to adhere to the itinerary, specific dive sites are not guaranteed.
In cases where dives are missed or dive sites cannot be reached due to weather or unforeseen changes, refunds or compensation, including fees for marine parks or other extras, are not available.
Booking Process:
A binding agreement is established once written confirmation is issued, followed by an invoice sent to the group leader or travel agent. Any changes to these terms or conditions must be agreed upon in writing.
Included in Your Package:
• Accommodation in a double-bed cabin as per booking.
• 3-4 dives daily, including night dives (excluding arrival and departure days).
• Dive guide, 12L aluminum tanks (DIN/INT), weight belts, and weights.

Cabin Occupancy: For solo travelers or odd-numbered bookings, cabin sharing with a guest of the same gender is arranged. Single occupancy incurs an additional 70% charge on the shared cabin rate.

Children: Children under 7 are not allowed onboard. Those aged 7-18 must be supervised by a parent or designated adult at all times. Children under 7 may be allowed only for full charter bookings, subject to prior written agreement.
Unconfirmed Sailings: A minimum number of guests is required for the liveaboard to sail, as specified in the boat’s fact sheet. If this number is not met, Ocean Dream Fleet will attempt to fill spots or offer alternative dates or vessels. If no alternative is available, a full refund will be issued.
