responsible to provide a diving medical statement or physicians medical dated within

the last 12 months, certification card and log book. Ignoring the directions given by the

guides, or not presenting certification card, log book or valid medical paperwork may cause

a limitation or disqualification from scuba diving on the voyage. The diver accepts their

drugs. If you are unsure about any medical matter, then please seek advice from your

general practitioner before scuba diving and similar activities. Likewise, if you are unsure

about your physical level of fitness for the itinerary you wish to book, please inform our

office and we can discuss your needs in more detail.

Before commencing any holiday, one should be physically able to enjoy themselves.

The activities that La Galigo offer can be physically demanding, and as such you will

be required to be reasonably physically fit to participate and enjoy these activities. Activities

include hiking to view points as well as diving. Discomfort, displeasure and pain resulting

LA GALIGO TERMS AND CONDITIONS V1.06 LAST UPDATED: 17-Oct-18 9

complaint or refund. We recommend a complete physical before your trip. There is a

DAN certified recompression chamber located in Bali.

If you have any health problems, are on any form of medication or have had any illness,

injury or operation that may affect you whilst diving, please let your booking agent

know in advance. As we require an up to date medical statement confirming you are fit to

dive. Failure to inform us about this may result in you not being able to dive, as it may

not be able to be obtained from local Indonesian general doctors that are not specialist

in hyperbaric medicine. Failure to disclose such prior information, may result in your

insurance being invalid, or your trip being a non-diving one.

Anyone with specific dietary requirements, including vegetarian/ vegan diets, or food

intolerances or allergies should advise us at least 61 days before the trip. Should you

have any restrictions or requirements and not inform our booking office previous to your

trip departure, it may be difficult or impossible to meet such requirements.

La Galigo is equipped with advanced first aid kits onboard, including oxygen and an

AED. Currents and winds may cause moderate movement of the vessel at times.

You may want to bring motion sickness medication if you feel you will need it. We suggest

you bring over the counter motion sickness medication or consult your doctor about

prescription brands, such as the trans-dermal patch or Scopace tablets. Please be

sure to consult your Doctor about using such medications when diving. We also have

an herbal alternative onboard that many people find successful, but as with anything that

you consume for medical purposes, please be aware of i ts contents befo re

consumpt ion . La Galigo and their staff are unable to accept any medication brought

onboard for safe keeping including those that require refrigeration. Should a guest

have a medication requiring temperature control, they will need to travel with a travel

cooling case or small storage cooler with several blue ice packets. The crew will be happy

to store and recharge the blue ice but are unable to accept possession of, or responsibility

for the proper care and storage of medication. This should be kept in your cabin.

Should you suffer from any of the conditions outlined below, please provide a signed medical

statement from your doctor within the last 3 months.

Asthma. Please be aware that we do not accept divers with asthma if you have had

an attack in the last 3 years – or those who take medication for prevention or

treatment of asthma on all our dive trips. If you had an attack between 3-10 years

ago, we will ask to see the results of a Spiro metric test (lung function test) dated not

older than 3 months.

Diabetes. Unfortunately, we do not accept divers with this condition, as our staff are

not medically qualified to a level to deal with any medical problems that may arise.

Thyroid Disease. Divers with thyroid disease or having no thyroid gland should bring

a medical statement dated within the past 3 months proving that their cardiovascular

system has been critically assessed.

La Galigo also cannot accept divers with Hypertension (high blood pressure) or

LA GALIGO TERMS AND CONDITIONS V1.06 LAST UPDATED: 17-Oct-18 10

divers using anti-depressants.

We would advise anyone with severe allergies to reconsider booking such a trip.

The use of peanut oil and crustaceans are widespread throughout Asia, and due to

our remoteness, it might be difficult to receive the right treatment for adverse

reactions. We do not guarantee with any of our meals that there might be traces of

peanut and seafood.

Previous cases of DCS and DCI in the last 5 years require a medical clearance from

a hyperbaric trained specialist.

Please note that for the above mentioned conditions we do NOT accept medical

statements issued locally in Indonesia, unless they are from an accredited hospital or

surgery. If you need any assistance or further advice on this subject, please contact us

for further information.

La Galigo is not willing to risk your life or endanger those around you by overlooking

such conditions. Please be aware, that due to our location, medical attention is not

always easy to obtain. It might, in a worst case scenario require medical evacuation; La

Galigo holds no responsibility or liability for medical evacuation costs.

Failure to make La Galigo and your insurers aware of any existing conditions may lead

to your insurance being invalid or being refused for diving activities whilst onboard.

11. INSURANCE

We strongly recommend to our guests that they purchase a fully comprehensive travel

insurance package that covers; accidents, medical assistance, baggage, trip cancellation

and interruption, personal liability and effects, when a reservation is made. All guests

should ensure they have appropriate insurance to cover the activities they will be

undertaking during their trip, regardless of risk. Please be advised that if guests choose

not to carry travel insurance, La Galigo will not be held responsible for any financial

disappointment caused by reasons beyond our control.

Travel insurance is a personal preference and highly recommended, DIVING insurance,

however, is not.

We require all divers to have a diving insurance policy that includes medical evacuation for the entirety of your trip, La Galigo will require a copy of your insurance policy, at least 24 hours prior to departure.

This insurance should take into consideration the costs involved in accident treatment

including hyperbaric treatment and/or repatriation. In the case of a diving accident, or

other accident, where the accident was not caused by a service provided by La Galigo

or their employees, La Galigo will not be held responsible and any requests for

LA GALIGO TERMS AND CONDITIONS V1.06 LAST UPDATED: 17-Oct-18 11

compensation will be refused.

We highly recommend dive insurance offered by the Divers Alert Network and travel

insurance. Special 10 day or 30 day DAN dive insurance packages are available, La

Galigo reservation office can assist you with obtaining this insurance before your trip.

12. CLAIMS AND COMPLAINTS

If you have observations, complaints or requests for reimbursement, you should contact

us immediately, or at least within 10 days from the return of your trip. Beyond this time,

it becomes extremely difficult for us to intervene due to the nature of the law in

Indonesia. All requests for reimbursement relating to additional services, or services

invoiced but not provided, will be studied on presentation of documentation and

additional information. In the case of litigation legal jurisdiction will be Indonesia.

13. PRICE FLUCTUATIONS **

dollar. The rate supplied is current at the time of initial payment. In case of a devaluation

of the US Dollar to the Indonesian Rupiah; La Galigo reserves the right to levy a

supplemental charge directly proportional to the amount of the exchange rate devaluation

on a per passenger basis. The amount of the supplemental charge as of sixty

(60) days prior to the departure date, which La Galigo advises, shall be added to the final

payment of each invoice. The exchange rate shall be determined by the rate as stated

on the international exchange rate website xe.com at noon GMT, sixty (60) days prior to

the day of departure.
