The ID on your actual person,not in a wallet or in a separate hand bag.
Mid last year an Eka Jaya speed boat broke in half on its way to the Gillis,lucky they had just left port but if it was half way across i doubt most if any of the tourists would have survived. the coast guard wasnt even notified.
Treading water In the Lombok straight would be a nightmare for anyone and doubt much ID would stay with the actual person for long.
Eka Jaya is a tour company and I dont even think they know how many people are on which of their two boats at any given time?
Shonky tour operators dont care! I was on that boat twice two weeks before it broke in two and it was scary enough in one piece.
