Richelieu rock is a dive site in the middle of the sea without any shelter from islands. In case we have to change the dive sites due of weather / ocean conditions, here are our procedures :
If we can reach Richelieu Rock and have to leave the Rock after the first dive is done due of changes of the ocean conditions we have 3 options:
- If the ocean conditions allow us we will go for the second dive to Surin Islands ( not refund will apply )
- If the ocean conditions make a journey to Surin not possible / difficult or uncomfortable for our guests we go instead for the second dive to Boon Song Wreck ( no refund will apply )
- If the ocean conditions not allow us at all to go to Richelieu Rock either Surin Islands we change instead to Boon Song Wreck ( the price will be 3.200 THB )
No plastic bottles allowed on this trip
We hand out in the morning stainless steel thermo water bottles with numbers on to every customer on the boat what can get refilled out a stainless steel water provider attached in the boat.
