GUEST INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) AND WAIVER

The “Guest Information System” makes the reservation process simple. This online tool offers travelers a way to complete the required travel information and enter special requests. Travelers who fail to comply will be canceled and denied boarding and check-in. Travelers traveling on back-to-back trips must complete the GIS for each trip.

AGGRESSOR ADVENTURES APPROVED RESELLERS-CLIENT CONFIDENTIALITY POLICY
As a courtesy, when a client books through an Aggressor Approved Reseller, it is customary protocol for all communications to flow between the client and Reseller and to be kept between those two parties unless necessary for the Reseller Agent to reach out to us directly. For this reason, clients who call Aggressor Adventures, LLC directly are referred back to their booking agency for further assistance with their payments, Guest Profile (GIS), and questions about Aggressor policies. Reservations made through Wholesalers, Tour Operators, Travel Agents, Dive Stores, Dive Clubs, or Active Instructors are subject to their own internal policies. Aggressor reservations agents are glad to answer general questions, however, specific questions should be directed to your Reseller Agent who will then communicate with Aggressor Adventures LLC.
 
FAILURE TO TRAVEL & UNUSED PORTION OF TRAVEL 
If a guest fails to board or check in before departure or the program starts, or leaves the Aggressor while in progress, the guest shall not be entitled to any refund of any kind or a travel voucher towards future travel. Aggressor Adventures LLC shall have no liability whatsoever in the event a guest fails to board or check in prior to departure or commencement of the travel program or leaves while the Aggressor excursion is in progress. In such cases, guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and costs of transportation to the port of embarkation and return travel home.
 
PASSPORTS, VISAS & INOCULATIONS 
Passport and visa requirements, and regulations with regards to inoculations and other health requirements vary by destination and often change. It is the sole responsibility of each guest to obtain the required documentation and vaccinations and have available the appropriate valid travel and health documents for their Aggressor trip.  Any guest traveling without the proper documentation will not be allowed to board the yacht or check in, and no refund will be made to the guest.  Passports are required for all guests and must be valid for six months after the Aggressor completion date.
