First of all I would like to thank you, guests and friends, who came, stayed and dived with us during their visit. We are proud to say that we have approximately 40% repeater guests and that they feel that our slogan “come as a guest, leave as a friend” is not an empty phrase.
Recently we have changed and improved our website and although not everything is working 100% yet, we receive more responses than ever and the number of g uests is growing.
But things are changing and the whole world suffers at the moment under the extremely risen fuel prices, as are we. Not only that 1/3 of all our expenses are for fuel, everything connected with the use of fuel (actually everything that needs to be transported) has been increased in price.
Therefore, with regret, we have to inform you that per the 21st of June 2008 our rates for diving will have to increase.
We have tried to lower the accommodation rates a little to compensate this, but the final result of selling a package will be an increase in price.
We ask for your understanding and support for this situation and sincerely hope that it will not influence your willingness to visit our resort(s) and dive center.
It goes without a doubt that bookings and quotations already made before the 21st of June will be charged at the rates that were valid at the time of the booking.
With warm regards and a sad smile,
Simone Gerritsen
General Manager
