Be A Shark LLC and SolmarV LLC strongly recommend all guests purchase Travel Insurance as the Solmar will not issue a refund if our trip is delayed or cancelled due to weather or a mechanical issue. Some travel insurance providers, such as RoamRight and the World Nomads Explorer Plan, may also contain dive insurance, so be sure to read the fine print.
