No separate levy identified
Bestätige diese Gebühren vor der Buchung, damit der Plan deines Anbieters und dein Tagesbudget zu dem passen, was du vor Ort bezahlst.
There is no destination-wide tourism levy or general marine-park dive tag identified in the reviewed official sources. Budget instead for local dive-operator charges, the Rathlin public ferry, optional attraction admission and any UK ETA required by nationality. Historic-wreck controls are separate: La Girona is a restricted site and requires a licence, while HMS Drake must not be disturbed or stripped. Published fares and attraction prices can change, so recheck at booking.
