Itineraries are flexible, and this itinerary is an example only.  Trips will differ depending on the prevailing breezes and tidal conditions.  Itineraries are planned by the Captain considering the safety and well being of guests and crew. If you have a special place that you would like to visit, we'll see what can be done. Please note that in the unlikely event of a mechanical problem, tour itineraries may need to be changed. For Scuba Diving we rendezvous with a Dive Boat. This company is independent to us. On the odd occasion the Dive Boat does not meet us, so therefore we cannot absolutely guarantee the Diving.
