I can understand your concern. That is why we have partnered with a long established and well regarded liveaboard dive boat company in the Maldives (whitewavemaldives.com). Prepayment is needed to secure your spot (which is standard practice for trips of this nature). However, cancellation options are available if your situation happens to change. We are happy to answer any other questions that you might have and would love to welcome you onboard on this once in a lifetime trip.Nice idea, but wiring cash before you're even on the boat...
If the payment mode is of concern, we can also arrange credit card payment.It's about how prepayment is made, not whether it has to be made. A friend of mine had two trips booked in the run up to Covid, for which he had paid in cash. Both were cancelled. Neither was refunded. This is the problem. Credit card payments are a much better option.
