Booking Charming Blue with us

We lose sleep so you don’t.

We take every booking personally. Here's what happens after you book a dive trip with us, before you fly and while you're away.

01

Your money stays in trust

Your payments go into a trust account, not our bank, and stay there until after your trip. If we ever stopped trading, the money would come back to you.

02

Your diving booked before you fly

Your dives with the centre or the boat, the flights, the transfers and the room you chose are all confirmed before you leave home. The driver who meets you will be there and will speak English.

03

A call before you go

Documents, visas, your certification card and insurance that covers your diving. We go through it on the phone, and you can ask anything else while we're talking.

04

On WhatsApp the whole trip

Wherever you are and whatever the time, there's one number to message or call. Flight delayed, room not right, a problem at the dive centre: the person who answers already knows your booking.

No obligation. We’ll come back with a full itinerary and a price.
