Dive sites, dates, vessel name. Your movement authorization.
Official Indonesian registration and safety certification. Crew carries this.
You must carry proof of insurance covering medical evacuation. We require this.
Don't Overstay
Indonesian immigration fines: IDR 100,000/day beyond 30 days (~$7/day). A 5-day overstay = IDR 500,000 fine + mandatory same-day exit flight. We build buffer days into all expedition itineraries. Not worth the hassle.
Permit Questions
Digital SIPARI confirmation and our permit letter are sufficient for immigration. Our crew carries official originals; you don't need physical documents.
We pre-process permits 2 days before your Sorong arrival. Government office hours don't affect your timeline. Everything is handled before you land.
No. You must exit Indonesia or return to a Jakarta immigration office. This is rarely done for recreational diving. Plan your expedition within your visa window.
No — it's an entry fee, not a diving fee. However, we've never cancelled a full expedition due to weather. Worst case: we reschedule to protected bays.
Children (5-17) need full permits and SIPARI registration at the same rate. Infants (0-4) are exempt from marine park fees but still need SIPARI registration.
No. One 30-day marine park permit covers your entire stay. If your expedition is 14 or 21 days, you're still within the single permit validity window.
Zero Visa Stress
We process everything — marine park fees, SIPARI registration, documentation. You focus on diving.
