DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THIS COMPANY. I was recently effected the travel ban and was supposed to do a dive trip on this boat with Discovery Divers. I explained my situation and let them know I was not able to attend or I would not be allowed back in the US for a minimum of 30 days. Discovery Divers made no attempt to refund or reschedule me. They kept my money and will not respond to me. A customer should not be penalized for a health crisis that is out of their control. I spoke with Mohammad and Somah and neither one of them were willing to work with me. Do your research and book with a different company!!!
Hi Nicole! I’m so very sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your travel arrangement with this boat. I truly hope that you will hear from them and that they will offer an arrangement. In the meantime, please stay safe and healthy! Thank you for sharing this here, and for reading Divezone!
