Exclusive Tobago offer from Regaldive and Extra Divers
There’s never been a better time to visit Tobago. With spectacular drift diving, outstanding coral formations and nutrient-rich waters that explode with marine life, Tobago is fast becoming one of Regaldive’s most popular destinations. Add to this the contrasting choice of Atlantic or Caribbean diving, renowned Caribbean hospitality and a range of great value resorts and flight options, and Tobago really does tick the perfect holiday box for every diver.
Regaldive guests booking their 2015 holiday before 30th June 2015 can save up to £100 off Tobago holidays when diving with Extra Divers and staying at the Nabucco’s Resort Speyside Inn. This attractive and popular divers’ hotel is located at the edge of Speyside village and offers amazing views across the water to the nature reserves of Little Tobago and Goat Island. Guests looking for more luxury should consider the beautiful boutique hotel Blue Waters Inn, also close to Speyside, and they can still benefit from 10% saving on five day dive packages when diving with Extra Divers.
Guests staying in Speyside will find themselves right in the thick of the best Atlantic diving action. The concentration of over 20 excellent dive sites just a few minutes boat ride from Speyside has made Tobago’s reputation as a dive destination. Kelleston Drain / Little Tobago Drift is a favourite dive on the island and offers one of the best chances of seeing Manta Rays, as well as a close-up view of what is considered to be the world’s largest brain coral. Similarly, the reef at Japanese Gardens is packed with corals, swirling reef fish and sponges of all types and is named after its numerous sea whip corals which resemble bonsai trees. This exceptionally pretty site is a justifiable reward after a thrilling passage carried along by the brisk current through a crevasse at the so-called Kamikaze Cut.
Regaldive guests diving with Extra Divers will benefit from the team’s many years’ experience on Tobago and can also dive some of the highlights of the Caribbean coast with Extra Divers sister operation at the other end of the island. Dive packs can be split across the two centres and Regaldive can offer 10% saving on diving packages at Extra Divers Black Rock which is located at the Grafton Beach Resort on Stonehaven Beach, a short drive from the tourist hub of Crown Point.
Tobago has not developed as rapidly as some other Caribbean islands and divers looking for a laidback and unspoilt destination will find much to enthral. The island offers plenty of opportunity to enjoy spectacular natural wonders above water, as well as below, with lush rainforests, picturesque waterfalls and incredible birdlife. With new flight options* and resort developments, there’s no doubt that tourism to Tobago is on the up… just be sure to book a holiday there soon to catch the magic.

*Virgin Atlantic has resumed flights to Tobago from London Gatwick Airport since March 2015. Departures are weekly between March and October, and twice weekly between October and March. Flights to Tobago are also available from the UK with British Airways.

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.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
