Do pelagic encounter trips require advanced experience?

Many do, especially when blue water, current, depth, or open-ocean entries are involved. The trip page should state the required certification, minimum dives, and comfort assumptions.

Can big animal encounters be guaranteed?

No wildlife encounter should be guaranteed. A strong listing should explain the season, likelihood, ethics, local rules, and what the trip still offers if animals do not appear on a given dive.
