Scuba Travel new logoIn addition to some great deals on Red Sea liveaboard diving, UK-based tour operator Scuba Travel currently have a brilliant offer that underwater photographers won’t want to miss.

Here are the details:

Mexico Photography Tour / 16th July / 11 nights / £2695 inc flights (Save £200)

  • Fully escorted by photo pro Duxy
  • 2 locations to optimise your diving opportunities
  • Dive at the unique underwater museum
  • Snorkel with vast numbers of whale sharks
  • 3 days diving in Mexico’s famous Cenotes

There is simply so much to photograph in Mexico that Duxy had to custom build a dedicated photo itinerary, taking in not only the famous cenotes but the unique underwater museum and an opportunity to snorkel with whalesharks. The adventure begins when you land in Cancun. From here you will be transferred to your first home, Isla Mujeres. After a check dive, you have 8 dives (4 x 2 tank) including the underwater museum plus 1 morning snorkelling with the massive whale sharks that aggregate just off the coastline at this time of year. Your next stop is Tulum, where the famous Mexican cenotes await (6 dives) as well as 1 reef check dive. Flights are with British Airways direct from Gatwick. Excluded are any additional dives, kit hire, meals and beverages outside of your room basis and departure tax.

Northern Red Sea Relaxed Itinerary / 21st May / Whirlwind / £995 inc flights

5 Star Red Sea Diving at affordable prices; dive the Red Sea at you own pace. Return flights to Hurghada, 7 nights full board on Spacious Liveaboard Whirlwind.

Scuba Travel’s photography expert Duxy will be on board to help you capture your best photos.

A very rewarding, but more relaxing and slower paced alternative to the more usual wrecks and reefs itinerary. With the same amount of dives available but at fewer locations, allowing you to see the best sites at different times of the day, this works brilliantly for photographers but is also proving to be a big hit with people that prefer to take things easier and with less rushing about. Some sites during the week will be “Open Deck” like The Barge and also the Thistlegorm. Once you’re initially briefed you stay for the day or longer and you can dive whenever you want. So from about 05:30 until 19:30 in the evening you have the usual four dives, but the timings are up to you and your buddy.

Southern Red Sea / 25th May / Hurricane / £845 inc flights

Save £330. Sail the Southern Red Sea in complete comfort with 7 nights full board aboard the Stable Steel hulled Hurricane. Direct Flights to Marsa Alam.

Scuba Travel’s ‘Simply the Best’ itinerary shows you the best of the Southern Red Sea.

Dive the fabled Brothers, Daedalus and Elphinstone with the most experienced team on board the stable steel hulled Hurricane. Avoid long transfers with Scuba Travel’s direct flight to Marsa Alam. Night diving is prohibited on the Brothers and Daedalus so expect around 18 dives in total. All fees, 12 L tank & weights and free Nitrox are included in your package – additional kit and tank hire need to be prebooked. All trips are fully guided with 2 expert guides. Flights are with Thomson from Gatwick and transfers are included. At the end of the week a day use room and lunch at a hotel while you wait for your flight home is also included. The only costs not included are the Egyptian entry visa, alcohol, additional kit hire and any on board souvenirs. Let Scuba Travel know if you would like to pre-book any PADI courses on board or have any dietary requirements.
