  Dear Ocean Adventure Participants,

We are very much excited to give you very different experiment full of Fun and Adventure.

We are going to the place which is in full control of Light house & Light ships and Navy, we have got all required permissions for entering and camping - still being a sensitive area we "might" have to reschedule our plans. As of now we are sticking to our schedule. 

We are taking 60 participants for this event and it will be surprise if everything goes real smooth :) Still we all have to work together to make it real smooth. Our safe and successful event will help us to conduct these kind of events again and again. 

I would request you to follow few important points written below (Please feel free to ask any question you have in mind):

1. Managing garbage for continuous 3 days will be very difficult for us, You all must carry your own cup, plate, spoon etc. 
2. There are chances of rain + heavy cold wind, You all must carry Rain coat as well as warm cloths.
3. There will be NO lights on island. Please carry powerful torch light with extra batteries.
4. Many times its easy to manage school kids than adults :-) Kindly cooperate us to make this event safe & successful, do not try to do over adventure with water. 
5. Anyone found carrying or consuming liquor will be banned from immediate effect and have to leave the event from that moment.
6. We will be getting wet 10 times a day, please carry light weight, easy to dry cloths for beach and boat ride. 
7. 2nd day boat ride & camping at Island is going to be a real adventure: we are going to Netrani  Island my boat and based on wind flow direction we either have to get down at beach or at a place where we might have to climb lots of rocks and climb the island. At night it is going to  be real cold and it might rain heavily too.. its part of adventure and you all are expect to be ready for any kind of surprise there. :-)
8. We are going to prepare both Veg and Non-Veg (using different vessels), I assume that by sign up for this event, veggies are not getting offended. 
9. We are not service providers, people expecting services are asked to participate with commercial outdoor clubs. We expect each and every participant to contribute their efforts for any big or small task in the event.
10. We are going to arrange Scuba diving for max 10 people. Discover dive (1 swimming pool session & 1 dive in ocean) will cost approx Rs. 3500.00, people can transfer money on first come first serve basis (email/call me before transfer)
11. For camping at Netrani Island, having Photo ID card is MUST. Carry Photo copy with you. 


For clarification of any doubt please contact us at team at bmcindia.org


Thank you!
