    Cancelled/postponed trips due to COVID - please share your outcomes

    Small businesses are trying their hardest to survive, and people want to break the contract they made for the booking to get their money back so they can capitalise on the situation and increase their stock portfolio. Lovely.

    Cancelled/postponed trips due to COVID - please share your outcomes

    Not necessarily so.

    Cancelled/postponed trips due to COVID - please share your outcomes

    Cancelled/postponed trips due to COVID - please share your outcomes

    I'm not suggesting to defraud, just because a company gave one person a rescheduling/refund doesn't mean they would be able to do it for everyone. But the insurance agent might use that as a reason not to pay out. Defrauding would be to receive a refund and then still make a claim. Sticking to a...

    Cancelled/postponed trips due to COVID - please share your outcomes

    Hi Guys, A comment from the other side of the fence :) I've quoted the post below, but it applies to a lot of the anger in this thread. If an operator replies to you email saying that there is no refund but can reschedule, then there is 0% chance of your insurance paying out - as they will...

    Which House Reef in Lembeh?

    Hi There, What time of year are you thinking to visit? (Makes a difference - if we're quiet we have more tanks available so can offer more open housereef opening times). For the housereef dives, most places in Lembeh have a reasonably good housereef dive. Be sure to contact the resorts and...
