Win an ultimate dive trip getaway to the Maldives
PADI Master Scuba Diver Challenge to Award Three Elite Divers with Dream Dive Holiday
Divers who earn their PADI® Master Scuba Diver™ rating before the end of 2019 will have an opportunity to win a dream dive holiday. PADI Master Scuba Divers are among best of the best in recreational scuba diving, an elite group of which fewer than two percent of divers ever join.
Divers in the Europe, Middle East and Africa territory earning their PADI Master Scuba Diver rating between 1 August to 31 December 2019 will be automatically entered into the 2019 Master Scuba Diver Challenge to win a dive vacation to the Maldives. The trip includes a seven-night stay and dive voucher for the winner and a guest at the Sun Island Resort on South Ari Atoll, Maldives.
The PADI Master Scuba Diver card is proof that a diver has invested significant time in dive training, accumulating scuba experiences and skills that allow them to maximize their potential and ability for underwater exploration and adventure. To earn your PADI Master Scuba Diver rating, you must be at least 12 years old and:
- Complete the PADI Rescue Diver course (and its prerequisites). The PADI Rescue Diver course prepares you to deal with dive emergencies – minor and major – using a variety of techniques. Through knowledge development and rescue exercises, you learn what to look for and how to respond.
- Complete five PADI specialty diver courses, which teach you new techniques and give you the tools to enhance your exploration and passion for diving. Choose from a variety of PADI specialties including Enriched Air Diver, Wreck Diver, Deep Diver and many more.
- Log 50 dives. To become a PADI Master Scuba Diver, you must have a minimum of 50 logged dives. Make sure to keep a record of your dive adventures.
Connect with your PADI Dive Center or Resort about your journey toward becoming a PADI Master Scuba Diver and enhancing your diving adventures.

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.
