2. What kind of foods do you like? Any food requirements we should prepare for?
Please be specific (for all parties, if pertinent). i.e., love desserts, must have eggs for breakfast, want to eat healthy, vegetarian, etc.


3. What do you like to drink? Soda, juice, alcohol, everything.
Please be specific; we have to provision at the start of each season. Please keep in mind provisioning where we operate can be incredibly difficult. Picky eaters are hard to accomodate!

  • Your yearly fees include everything BUT: airfare, travel or accident insurance (a good idea), personal or communication expenses (satellite phone, internet), special spirits (bring your own, but we try to maintain a well stocked bar), scuba diving, and crew tips (appreciated but not expected).

Climate Care
Please consider the carbon impact your trip will have on the SV Discovery. Airplane travel has far and away the largest carbon footprint of any mode of transportation (airline emissions worldwide equals the TOTAL CO2 emissions of Europe!). Did you know one RT flight out to Discovery is equivalent to the same CO2 emissions a typical person living in the US has in an entire year? MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Offset your carbon footprint of this trip by funding sustainable energy projects through Climate Care. It's fun, and the reefs and ocean will thank you!

Visa Requirements

Timing:

Each leg begins and ends at 12 noon on the day stated in the schedule. Our arrival in the port of destination is generally one day early to allocate the necessary time for customs clearance and provide you time to reconfirm airline tickets, pack up, and do some exploring. It is unfortunately not possible to join the boat earlier than 12 noon, or stay later as the time between trips is needed for maintenance, crew breaks, and provisioning. Please plan on arriving at least 24 hours before the start of your voyage. Spend the night(s) in a hotel, so that you'll have a chance to get over jet lag and be well rested and acclimatized when you come aboard. This extra day(s) means less chance of holding up the start of the trip because of late flights or baggage. You may want to consider planning a night or more ashore at our destination, before flying home. And Finally (if you haven't done so already):

Take this time to fill out the confidential Medical questionnaire. Review thoroughly and print the What to Bring list.

Points Reservation System

Our reservation system is a simple method which allows each owner equal access to trips or times of the year in high demand. The more points you have, the higher priority you have when booking your "first choice" trip each year. You "acquire" points by a combination of two methods:
  1. Time of year: "low demand", "high demand", and "extreme demand"
  2. Trip choice: First, Second, Third, or "Other"
The more points you have going into a certain year gives you priority over another owner with less points who wants the same trip. Here is the calendar for the 2010 season after choices were made:
