Check out these liveaboard and dive resort holiday deals from Divequest
Still wondering where to dive in 2017? UK-based tour operator Divequest have some great ideas for you to consider.
Here are the details:
Prince John Resort, West Sulawesi
Tired of diving all the usual places in Sulawesi like Manado and Lembeh?
Prince John Resort, located a short transfer from Palu in West Sulawesi, Indonesia, offers a myriad of different dive sites including wrecks, muck, walls and coral gardens. It also has a wonderful white sand beach with a house reef to explore.
From £705 per person including:
- 7 nights in a Deluxe Bungalow on a twin share basis
- Return airport transfers from Palu
- Half board (breakfast and dinner) daily plus afternoon coffee and cake
- Free wifi in the reception area
The best time to go is from May to October so why not explore somewhere different in Indonesia?
Bikini Atoll and the Marshall Islands
Truk Master – From £4840 per person for 10 nights
It’s remote, untouched and to date, virtually un-dived.
Bikini Atoll is part of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, which covers nearly 1 million square miles of idyllic emerald-green coral atolls, surrounded by the crystal-blue waters of the Pacific. A one of a kind diving paradise, as it features not only beautiful reefs, corals and wonderful marine life. Above all, it is the final resting place for some of the most significant warships in history. Bikini Lagoon is the first UNESCO World Heritage site for the Marshall archipelago and is undisputedly ranked first on any serious wreck divers’ bucket-list. This is well justified; nowhere else on earth will you be able to dive such a unique collection of historic battleships and cruisers, as well as the world famous USS Saratoga aircraft carrier with its 270m (888ft.) flight deck.
Truk Master is running special dive charters out to Bikini starting in 2018.
