Relax, have fun, and let us sort through the winners and losers in the scuba world for you. You can be sure that our descriptions are free of any exaggerated marketing-speak. We know the operators and their liveaboards and resort packages, so we can carefully match your requirements, and tell you exactly what to expect.

Confirmed Reservation Deposit A Confirmed Reservation Deposit is payable by you, to guarantee your reservation. The non-refundable deposit required is 30% of the total price of your booking. How a contract is made Beside the photo/video workshop itself, Les argonauts act as a disclosed representative for third party suppliers, we gather the information and representations from the operators and we do our best to verify and update this information as much as is practical. Since we act as representatives and we have no contractual liability to you in respect of the product from the operator. The contract for the product is between you and the operator. In most cases this will mean that there are additional terms and conditions governing the contract as each operator will have terms and conditions relating to their vacations. Please make sure that you have read these terms and conditions before completing your transaction. You can easily find their link on our website. Please note that once the payment is received you can only cancel your workshop in accordance with the terms and conditions provided by the operator. It is your responsibility to ensure you are familiar with any cancellation charges relevant to your booking. Making Your Final Payment You make your final payment of your package price (normally the remaining 70%) to be received by the operator more than 90 days before the commencement date. Therefore, it is important to allow time for the transaction to be finalised before this 90 day requirement. The operator will endeavour to keep you informed, by email, of the final payment amount and due date. Failure to pay your balance prior to such due date will be considered as cancellation by you within 90 days before the workshop commencement date and you will be subject to the terms and conditions that apply in the event of customer cancellation. Payment Methods All payment instructions are sent to you by email when a payment is required.

 All bank transfer charges are to be paid by the sender.

 In order to minimise your bank charges we recommend that you consider paying the full total of your package immediately, rather than first a deposit and then the balance at a later time.
 Please help us to help you, by sending us a scan copy of the transfer record that includes the transaction reference number.
