• EQUIPMENT

As you already know, we have always tried to make your trip comfortable and relaxed by helping to load your luggage and equipment, as well as helping you with the assembly. Unfortunately this will not be able to continue; We will not touch any of your belongings, unless you clearly request it.

The washing tubs will have the same antibacterial soap that we have always used, in addition, an atomizer with an antibacterial solution of ammonium salts will be available in the washing area.

In the case of rental equipment, rest assured that it was washed and disinfected when you receive it, however, it is highly recommended for your peace of mind that you personally disinfect it again. All the equipment that you try on will be disinfected again in case it has not been adapted to your size or comfort.

You will not be able to leave clothes or towels in common areas, the draining area is only for diving equipment.

• PERSONAL HYGIENE

Correct personal hygiene measures include:

  • Wash your hands frequently and for at least 20 seconds.
  • Keep your distance, avoiding direct contact with other people.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • There will be antibacterial gel and sanitizer on hand.

• DISINFECTION

• SURFACES

All surfaces, doorknobs and faucets will be disinfected in the morning and in the evening with a solution of quaternary ammonium salts.

They will be disinfected before your arrival and after cleaning at noon.

• BOAT

They will also be disinfected before leaving and will also carry a disinfectant solution for those who want to use it.

• IN BOAT

Access will be limited to 6 passengers in the Alharaca, Rabieta and Arenga, while the Vitta will only be able to serve 4. That is, the capacity will be limited to 50% in all of them.

We know that it will be very difficult to maintain a safe distance during activities, however, we will have to make an effort, we must understand that protection to avoid contagion is the responsibility of each one of us.

When leaving diving if you ask us for support and we touch your equipment, remember to disinfect it as soon as you have control of it again.

The use of an additional second stage (octopus) will be mandatory, since, if there is any contingency with the air supply, it must be used to share the air.

• LUNCH AND FOOD

It will be delivered to you personally by someone from our staff after breakfast in a small bag, from that moment on you will be in charge of storing and handling it.

There will be no drinks on the boat, it is mandatory to use a container, two or more if you think it is necessary, which you must fill before leaving. Since you will be the only person who will handle it, we recommend having it always located and at hand.

You will no longer be able to take food from the bar, our staff will serve it for you. As usual, if you want more, you just have to go to the bar and ask for it. The cutlery will be located in front of your place at the table and only 4 people can sit at each one of them.

TANK REFILLS

We have always been careful in this operation, whoever operates the compressor is aware that they must keep their hands clean. At the end of the filling, all the valves of the tanks are disinfected.
