Im starting to think I'm going to do Empress. They offered to extend the trip for a full day!Yes, EAN32.
It does so it is advisable to take 1/2 day off after mutlidays diving for safety reason.Also I'd imagine bottom time does stack up through the trip.
Only a half day? I have heard 24 is the minimum.It does so it is advisable to take 1/2 day off after mutlidays diving for safety reason.
It is your holiday and your life.
I meant 1/2 day off and then continue diving!Only a half day? I have heard 24 is the minimum.
Also, all those days on nitrox vs air probably means you can get on a plane sooner.
Be cautuious with one of the two boats mentioned. You may wish to ensure that you are fully insured for trip cancellations.
Are you not allowed to say which one?Hi,
I cautioned about ONE of the two boats mentioned by the OP, not both of them.
I have a friend, that I have known for 3 decades, and who has been in the diving business for that length of time (30 years). My friend knows resort and LOB owners in Indonesia through the dive business and tells me that business contacts have said that one of the boats has been cancelling trips. This information was passed to me in confidence because I had been making enquiries prior to booking a trip on that boat. I am led to believe that trips were being cancelled because there were not enough guests to run the trips.
One indirect way to have some sort of "insurance" is to book through an agency (instead of directly with the boat). An agency would represent multiple LOBs in Indonesia and may be able to offer a trip on an alternative LOB should a trip be cancelled.

Getting the word out will possibly help lots of people.
