Cancellation Policy for Full Boat Charters with Diving 4 Images

Cancellation Policy for Individuals with Diving 4 Images Private Charters

However if replacements are found by the person booked and the booking is filled there will be no additional fee. The new person will be expected to pay the full remaining amount for the booking. If Diving 4 Images fill the space we will retain an amount of $200 for additional administration fees.
- If the person/s and Diving 4 Images happen to lose out financially due an unforeseen event we will try our utmost to refund the amount less our administration fee through future discounted bookings with Diving 4 Images.
