Spoil yourself … scuba diving
There are fantastic diving holidays available. Check out some or all of the following locations:
- The Bahamas
- The Maldives
- The Great Barrier Reef in Australia
- The Red Sea
- The Arabian Gulf
If you are in the UK, get hold of the latest Hayes and Jarvis brochure for diving holidays all over the world.
They have a good range of holidays at all sorts of prices, plus some specials, like joining researchers to follow the sardine run in South Africa?
Don’t forget the Galapagos. Quasar Expeditions has a liveaboard for the experienced diver that goes to Darwin and Wolf Islands, or other cruises that offer some diving for the beginner on up. My partner dives, but I just like to snorkel, so this is perfect for me.
I’d love to dive the Galapagos - I thought that there were big restrictions on travel to them, but is that just landing on the islands rather than diving?
I remember diving in the Red sea once and I was down about 30 feet when I saw someone pottering along past me, taking all the time in the world to look around - and they were snorkelling! I wish I had the fitness to snorkel more than either on the surface or a quick bob up and down!
The Galapagos have certainly been in the media recently with the Darwin anniversary.
I’d heard that diving there can be tricky due to relatively cold water and strong currents, what do they mean by ‘experienced’?
