Currentline Alor is an independent dive-travel concierge operated by Bali Premium Trip and published by Juara Holding Group. We arrange diving in Alor and the Pantar Strait through licensed local operators. These terms govern how you enquire, book and travel.
Who you book with
By sending an enquiry, paying a deposit or accepting a written quote, you agree to these terms. Read them before you book. If anything is unclear, message us before you pay — not after.
Currentline Alor is the trading name used by Bali Premium Trip for Alor and Pantar Strait dive travel. The website publisher is Juara Holding Group.
We act as an independent broker and coordinator. The diving, accommodation, boats and in-water guiding are delivered by established, licensed Alor operators — for example Dive Alor Dive, Nautika Dive Alor or Alami Alor — and by their crews and certified guides. We select and coordinate; they carry you and put you in the water.
That distinction decides liability, and it is stated plainly throughout these terms rather than buried at the end of them.
Scope
We arrange and coordinate on your behalf. On-water decisions rest with the licensed operator and its guides.
Bookings and payment
A booking is confirmed only when you receive written confirmation from us and your deposit has cleared. An enquiry, a held date or a quote is not a confirmed booking.
| Stage | What happens | Typical timing |
|---|---|---|
| Enquiry | We check availability with the operator and send a written quote | No payment |
| Deposit | Secures your dates; the booking becomes confirmed | Usually 30–50% at booking |
| Balance | Remaining amount due before you travel | Commonly 30–60 days before arrival |
| On arrival | MPA permit, marine park fee and any local fees | Paid locally, per MPA rules |
The exact deposit, balance and deadlines for your trip are set in your written quote and by the operator's own conditions, which we pass to you in full before you pay. Payment methods, currency and any transfer fees are stated there. Marine park fees and permits are set by the Alor MPA authority, collected locally, and outside our control.
If plans change
Terms follow the operator's policy for your specific trip, disclosed in writing before you pay. Liveaboards and peak-season land trips in the April–November window usually carry stricter terms than low-season dates.
| When you cancel | Outcome, subject to operator policy |
|---|---|
| Before the deposit deadline | Full refund of anything paid, minus bank and transfer fees |
| After deposit, outside the balance window | Deposit typically non-refundable |
| Inside the balance window, or no-show | Little to no refund; the trip may be charged in full |
| Operator cancels | Reschedule or refund per operator terms, for weather, safety or force majeure |
Strong currents, plankton blooms or unsettled seas during the roughly November–March rainy season can force site changes or cancellations for safety. That call belongs to the operator's guides, not to us, and it is not grounds for a claim against Currentline Alor.
Your responsibilities
Alor is a frontier destination for experienced divers, not a beginner training ground. The Pantar Strait has strong surface currents demanding rapid descents, quick equalising and a regroup around 5 m; typical dives run 15–25 m, and one documented scalloped-hammerhead site reaches around 32 m.
Certification. Minimum PADI Open Water for fun diving. Operators recommend 50 to 100 logged dives for comfort in Alor–Pantar conditions.
Dive-accident insurance. DAN or equivalent cover is mandatory. The nearest hyperbaric chamber is in Bali, and evacuation and chamber costs are not covered by standard travel or medical insurance.
Honest disclosure. Your true experience level, health and medical fitness to dive. We build the itinerary on the numbers you give us.
Rules in the water. No solo diving. All dives are no-decompression. Bottom time is typically capped at 60 minutes or when you reach 50 bar.
Prices can move before they are locked. Any price shown on this site or in early correspondence is indicative and subject to change until confirmed in writing. Fuel costs, exchange rates, operator rate changes, group size and season all shift a quote, and no public, citable price table exists for Alor packages, liveaboards or the marine park fee.
Blue-whale and hammerhead encounters are possible, never guaranteed. We make no promises about sightings, conditions or outcomes.
Rules, liability, data
Alor's waters are a marine protected area inside the Coral Triangle. Compliance is enforced locally, not optional.
Protected species include coral reefs, turtles, marine mammals, thresher sharks, mangroves, seagrasses and pelagic fish. Breaching MPA rules can end your dive day with no refund.
