Good budget boat with 5 day trips? Oktavia.Thanks everyone for the help so far, I've spent a ton of time looking for the right boat (here and via Google).
I now know exactly what I am looking for and would really appreciate some recommendations for a medium to upper budget boat.
Any 5 day LOB that makes it to Richelieu.
Thanks in advance.
Another question for everyone here, and I'm sure it wont be my last.
we are working with an agent that is requesting a direct wire transfer (no credit cards) for all of our payments, deposit, etc.
Is it typical for a dive agent to do this or should this be a redflag?
Thanks for your help.
As a longtime SE Asia traveler and customer, I agree with Quero, wire transfers are SOP. Depending on the amount, Western Union can be cheaper and less hassle (for the sender). Wire transfers are usually a set fee, whereas Western Union fees depend on the amount. I am not clear as to the relative recipient hassles for the two methods.
I would not call it a red flag, but a bit strange and not very convenient.
Any decent agent should be able to accept credit card payments.
