Our team will welcome you upon your arrival in Egypt to help you discover its magnificent underwater world.<\/p>\n<h3>Article 1 \u2013 Booking, Deposit, and Final Payment<\/h3>\n<p>Your booking will be confirmed once you have completed your registration on our online booking tool using the link we will provide you in advance, and once you have paid your first deposit equal to 30% of the total price of the cruise (excluding options).<br \/>\nThe balance must be paid 60 days before departure. If booking occurs less than 60 days prior to departure, the full price of the cruise must be paid at the time of booking.<br \/>\nWe reserve the right to cancel any cruise for which the balance has not been paid one month before departure. In that case, cancellation fees will be charged in accordance with Article 6 of these Terms &amp; Conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Cruises are subject to a minimum of 15 participants.<\/p>\n<h3>Article 2 &#8211; Prices<\/h3>\n<p>The advertised prices are valid depending on the number of participants in your booking. We offer three types of rates:<\/p>\n<p>Individual bookings<\/p>\n<p>Group bookings (10+ people)<\/p>\n<p>Full boat charter<\/p>\n<p>If you book as a group, the final rate may vary depending on the total number of participants. Additions and\/or cancellations of participants will be taken into account, and any resulting difference will be applied at the time of final payment.<\/p>\n<p>Prices are per person, based on a shared double cabin.<\/p>\n<p>Our rates are based on a package covering dinner on Saturday through breakfast the following Saturday.<br \/>\nIf, due to your flight schedule or for reasons beyond our control, the first or last night and\/or certain meals are shortened or missed, no refund will be given.<\/p>\n<h3>Article 3 &#8211; Price revision<\/h3>\n<p>We do our best not to change our prices during the year. However, SEA BASE reserves the right to revise its prices to reflect significant variations in fuel costs, exchange rate fluctuations, or new fees and taxes imposed by Egyptian authorities that were not included in our packages.<\/p>\n<p>If the increase exceeds 10% of the cruise price, you will have the right to cancel your trip without any fees and receive a full refund of deposits paid.<\/p>\n<h3>Article 4 &#8211; Duration<\/h3>\n<p>You may board our cruises on Saturday from 4:00 pm until Sunday 8:00 am.<br \/>\nThe boat departs the marina on Sunday morning after obtaining maritime clearances.<\/p>\n<p>The boat returns to the marina on Friday afternoon from 3:00 pm, and services end after breakfast on Saturday.<\/p>\n<h3>Article 5 \u2013 Cruise Operations<\/h3>\n<p>The itineraries published on our website and brochures may be modified according to permissions from coast guards, weather conditions, or scheduling constraints.<\/p>\n<p>Cabins are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis upon arrival on the boat, unless you have pre-booked a specific cabin option.<\/p>\n<h3>Article 6 &#8211; Cancellation by the participant<\/h3>\n<p>In case of cancellation, refunds will be made after deducting cancellation fees as outlined below, calculated based on the date of cancellation in relation to the departure date.<br \/>\nAll cancellations or contract changes must be sent to SEA BASE in writing, and the date of receipt will determine the cancellation date.<\/p>\n<p>Cancellation fees:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More than 90 days before departure: \u20ac100 per participant<\/li>\n<li>Between 90 and 61 days before departure: 30% of the cruise amount<\/li>\n<li>Between 60 and 31 days before departure: 50% of the cruise amount<\/li>\n<li>Less than 30 days before departure: 100% of the cruise and options<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>No refund will be made if the participant fails to board the boat by Sunday 8:00 am on the day of departure, or if they cannot present valid required documents such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Passport or ID card valid for at least 6 months after return date (if traveling with ID card: provide a passport photo for visa on arrival)<\/li>\n<li>Exit authorization for minors if the accompanying person has a different family name<\/li>\n<li>Visa: we handle visas for French, Belgian, Swiss, and Canadian citizens.

For cruises including diving (outside of training courses), a minimum number of logged dives may be required depending on the difficulty of the itinerary.<br \/>\nA medical certificate (less than 12 months old) is also mandatory.<\/p>\n<p>Except for training courses, each participant confirms that they have the technical skills required for our diving cruises.<\/p>\n<p>Participants must follow the advice and instructions of the onboard dive instructors. SEA BASE and its staff are not liable for accidents or injuries resulting from reckless or non-compliant behavior.<\/p>\n<p>The Dive Director reserves the right to prohibit a dive if deemed unsafe for the participant or others. Paid supervision may be required for participants whose technical level is deemed insufficient for their safety.<\/p>\n<p>We remain available for any additional information or assistance you may need.
