Dive into the heart of the Coral Triangle with Dive Worldwide
Dive Worldwide is offering savings of £300 per person at Gangga Island Resort in Indonesia for holidays booked by 31 August 2017 and taken before 30 September 2017, with only limited availability remaining.
Reached by an exhilarating 30 minute speed boat ride, Gangga Island Resort is a luxurious escape in the heart of the Coral Triangle for those who want to get away from the world. The resort boasts a cluster of 15 exclusive beach-front bungalows, built in traditional Minahala, each with a veranda, air conditioning and satellite TV.
When not enjoying diving or snorkelling, guests staying at the Gangga will have much to entertain themselves with. There is a large salt water infinity pool and a running track for fitness fanatics and a spa, perfect for pampering after a day under the waves. The two restaurants serve both Indonesian and international cuisine and the included babysitting services make the resort perfect for young adventurous families.
The onsite PADI 5* dive centre offers daily guided boat dives to the 25-plus dive sites located around the Bangka Peninsula. Here, the emphasis is on a personalised service with each of the three dive boats only taking 12 divers each at one time, with a ratio of 4 divers to each divemaster. On the pristine reefs divers can expect to see plenty of colourful reef fish, blennies, cuttlefish, Spanish dancers, several species of pipefish, nudibranch, mantis shrimp, turtles, frogfish and octopus and, on some sites, schools of jacks, tuna or snapper.
Special Offer Price: from £2,795 based on 2 sharing (SAVING £300pp), including return flights from the UK, transfers, 7 nights standard double accommodation, 14 dives, tanks, weights and Nitrox for qualified divers.

Dive Worldwide Announces Bite-Back as its Charity of the Year
Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
