Quick FAQs
- What should i do if i feel seasick during the trip?If you?re prone to seasickness, it?s advisable to take something before you go (Check with a chemist). As Evolution is a large custom-built catamaran, superyacht, it?s more stable in rough weather than monohulls. We do sell seasickness pills on board the boat, but please remember, tablets are a preventative, not a cure, so take them before we depart!
- What items should i bring with me on the tour?Pack like you?re going to the beach. Swimmers, towel, hat, sunscreen, change of clothes, credit card for additional purchases on the boat.
- Can i bring my own bcd (buoyancy control device) for diving?All dive equipment is included with the dive packages so it's easier to use the BCD's provided onboard.
- What type of wetsuits do you provide, and how much do they cost?We have Scubapro wetsuits with a 3mm thickness. They are shorts with short sleeves. These are an additional $10 per person onboard for snorkelers and introductory divers. Wetsuits are included for Certified Scuba Divers.
- Can i bring my own camera or underwater camera?You're more than welcome to bring your own camera! However, for safety reasons, we do not allow underwater cameras when you are introductory diving. If you are a certified diver you can bring your own underwater camera, the only restriction is for introductory dives.
