Levy on Fuel Prices

Over recent months many organizations have gone down the path of introducing a fuel levy, in particular when it is one of the major costs associated with their business. Some examples are:

• Taxis
• Bus companies
• Aeroplanes
• Most transportation groups

This has been due to the ever increasing price of fuel. Some organisations have increased their nominal overall price, however, with fuel fluctuating so significantly from month to month, other organizations have had to adopt a 'Fuel Levy', which is subject to change with larger fluctuations.

Unfortunately, Undersea Explorer has had to go down this path along with all other marine operations in the district. The two main organizations, AMPTO and Dive Queensland, have been providing information in relation to this subject and will be providing guidelines as to various levies with the fluctuating prices.

Undersea Explorer, in conjunction with information provided by governing bodies, has evaluated a $15.00 levy per day per person will be necessary on all expeditions at this stage in order to meet the rising fuel demands (this is subject to change if and when the fuel barrel price changes). In summary we will be charging $90 per person per 6 day expedition and and $120 for far northern (8 full days of diving)

All information in relation to the fuel levy will be updated on our website, and if you have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.
