Where will your next diving adventure be?

Currently on the UK’s green list and open for travel are Malta & Gozo, Madeira, Turks & Caicos Islands, Grenada, Iceland & Dominica. Amber destinations include the Azores, Thailand, Saba & St Maarten, Bonaire, Curaçao and Lanzarote. There will also be a new route to the Bahamas and flights to Tobago resuming later this year.

Extend Your Dive Time…

Maximise your time underwater with a shore diving holiday to Bonaire & Curaçao in the Caribbean, or island hop from Grenada to Carriacou. Island hopping in the Mediterranean is available by combining a diving holiday on Malta & Gozo. Plus, there’s plenty to explore along Thailand’s west coast, for as long as you want. Madeira is proving popular too, with some extending their stay to include the golden sands of Porto Santo for a well-deserved break.

Why Not Go Dutch in the Caribbean?

A twin centre ‘drive and dive’ holiday is the perfect getaway for divers who want to spend most of their time underwater, whilst enjoying a unique Caribbean experience on two very different islands.

The small island of Bonaire packs a punch with its protected marine environment and 80+ dive sites which you can dive at any time day or night. Expect to see a multitude of colourful reef fish and corals, plus tarpon, eagle rays and turtles. It’s a diver’s paradise.

Curaçao has a rich heritage and thriving culture plus plenty of dive sites to explore, many of which are just a step away from the shore. As well as rays, schools of barracuda and jacks, keep your eyes peeled for macro life such as frogfish, octopus and seahorse dotted amongst the hard corals and wrecks.

Mediterranean Medely

The islands of Malta & Gozo are a great choice for divers of all abilities, with its friendly locals, unique culture, year round sunshine and superb diving conditions. Malta is easily accessible from the UK and you can explore the wrecks and caves: some of the most spectacular wrecks are very deep and challenging!

Gozo is a short ferry ride from Malta, where the pace of life is slower but the seascapes and aquatic life still as exciting. Diving highlights include the blue hole and inland sea sites at Dwejra, not to forget the Santa Maria caves.

Combine the two and maximise your holiday time in the Mediterranean

The Spice of Life

No two islands are the same in the Caribbean, each with their special charm and attractions for divers and snorkellers of all ages and abilities. A twin-centre stay on the vibrant ‘Spice Island’ of Grenada and then Carriacou (the land of reefs) offers an authentic getaway with plenty of underwater treasures.

Grenada is known as the best wreck diving destination in the Caribbean as well as a diverse and colourful fish life on the reefs, plus rays, turtles, and nurse sharks on several sites.

Carriacou, a tiny island famous for its pristine reefs and forests of soft corals. Divers can enjoy a variety of marine life from tiny critters to black-tip reef sharks, schooling pelagic species, rays, turtles, and garden eels along with some exhilarating drift dives and wrecks as a bonus.

Tantalising Thailand 

The ‘Land of Smiles’ offers visitors beautiful landscapes, graceful people and an incredible underwater experience, making this an attractive destination where taking your time is fine.

Explore the dive sites of Thailand, both from the convenience of a liveaboard in the Similan and Surin Islands, and the comfort of a dive resort, where you can relax in tropical surroundings. To get the best possible experience, we recommend you are Advanced qualified (the course can be taken locally).

Immerse yourself in colourful reefs, lush corals, impressive sea fans and an incredible variety of marine life including large sightings such as leopard shark, manta rays and perhaps even a whale shark at Richelieu Rock.
