- Divers must show their dive certification and logbook and sign a waiver of claims before boarding.

- Seafarer Divers is insured in Thailand with New Hampshire Insurance Company (AIG) as an inbound dive tour-operator and with PADI "Watertight" Liability Insurance for dive centers. We suggest to all divers to sign up for extra dive travel insurance such as DAN www.daneurope.org in order to cover travel risks and dive accident.
Remark: Without dive travel insurance, any dive accident without a third party responsible to cover the charge will be under the full responsibility of the diver (In Thailand: recompression chamber fee may be up to 15,000 Euros).

- Buddy system is mandatory on all dive trips and the divers should have a dive computer and a surface buoy per buddy team at least. Divemaster supervision is provided on our day dive trips with local dive guides. Divemaster supervision is provided on our day dive trips as well during our liveaboard MV Andaman Seafarer cruises but the service of a compulsory Divemaster guiding during each dive is only provided on request prior to the trip or the liveaboard and will be charged an extra fee of 500 Baht (10€) per day and per diver.

- Diving at Similan - Surin or Southern Islands is not like diving inside a lagoon.... Strong currents (moon) and wind (December to February) may change the quality and the safety of the dives; therefore all our divers must be confident in the water. Minimum diving level for a liveaboard to Similan/Surin: PADI Advanced or CMAS 2* Diver. PADI Open Water Divers, CMAS 1* Divers or equivalents will have to book the service of a professional Divemaster guiding them during all liveaboard dives: 500 Baht (10€) per day and per diver.

- Seafarer Divers Co. Ltd provides tanks and weights belt only on all dive trips so divers must bring their personal dive equipment such as fins, mask, snorkel, BCD, regulator, dive computer, surface buoy, dive suit (2-3 mm) and torch for night dive. Dive equipment may be rented or bought from Seafarer Divers before boarding.

- Diver owning a regulator with Din system must bring a yoke adaptor to fit our K-valves.

- Seafarer Divers does not rent dive torch or U/W camera.

- Wittaya Hongwiangchan, Chief of the Similan Islands Marine National Park, is warning tour and dive tour operators that it is illegal to bring tourists into the marine park during the monsoon season when the seas are rough and dangerous. The park closes every year from the beginning of May until the end of October.
