OPERATIONAL ISSUES FOR KAMALA:

• Need to set up Treasure Hunt Map / Program (see if viable for week #2)
• Need to add full tour details and pricing (both trips using Khatts week #1 and probably JBay for #2)
• Work out inv contract with resort  CURRENTLY HOLDING only 10 rooms due to large booking therefore need to redo inv AS IT progresses to see who signs up or who does not.
• Need to find my Dec Dom pics and upload and showcase smugmug or SD gallery with them in it.
• NEED TO FINALIZE WHICH HOTEL we will be staying at for Nov 14-21 so we can update HIKA and accept more bookings
• We know that the 2nd week Nov 21-28 is the same as May 30-Jun 5 2020 so does not need to be updated OTHER THAN THE DATES and the TABLE.
• Will need to issue refunds for the price difference between Jungle Bay and whatever the Nov 14-21 20 trip costs are to the participants.

• Does not include any group dinners (the inhouse restaurants are world class with menus attached for your purview.

This is why we negotiated 2 meal pkgs for you including a full lunch board option and a full dinner board option.)

• DIVE Insurance - is MANDATORY! DIVE insurance is VERY inexpensive. Even if you have insurance that you think covers DIVING ACCIDENTS and air lifts it is CHEAP to get a supplemental policy to ensure you are cared for.
• TRIP Insurance - It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
• See INSURANCE section below for recommendations.
