What if I need to be contacted in an emergency? If someone needs to get in contact with you because of a true
emergency, they may contact the office and we will relay the message. The boats travel to remote areas. The
only possible way to contact them is to relay a request to return to port so they may call our office. Since the
boat is frequently hours from the nearest port, this can cause you and your fellow passengers to miss out on
part or all of a day's diving. This should only be done if it is a real emergency.  Blackbeard's Cruises; 3700
