Course Checklist

You should receive a confirmation email within 24 hours. Check spam if you don't see it.

Most destinations require 6+ months validity beyond your travel dates.

Travel insurance is mandatory. Ensure you have comprehensive coverage including emergency medical evacuation.

Arrive the day before your course starts. Don't book departure until evening of the last day.

Visa requirements vary by destination and nationality. Check early!

Review the ASA materials we'll send you. Don't stress—it's meant to be an intro, not a test.

Arriving early or staying late? Book hotels now—popular times sell out.

Prescription refills, seasickness medication consultation, etc.

Pack light! Soft duffel bag only—no hard suitcases.

Prevent cards being blocked for "suspicious" foreign transactions.

WhatsApp (crew communication), Navionics (charts), local transport apps.

Email us any allergies or dietary restrictions we should know about.

We'll send you forms for emergency contacts, medical info, and crew profile.

Lay everything out, then remove 30%. Seriously—pack light!
