    Diving: 2012


    About diving at the festival:
    Malongane staff will be in charge of the planning. You will be able to book your dives for the next day with the dive planning board at 5 o'clock every afternoon.

    Please note:
    A dive crew tip will be added to your bill. The reason for this being that Malongane wants to discourage the people from tipping individuals. It creates animosity amongst the dive crew because some get paid way more than the others. It is true, there are a few that will go the extra mile for you, but then they do not pay attention to other divers. The consequence is that the rest of the staff suffers with the work load being bigger on them and unhappiness creeps in.
