Save 5% at Riding Rock Resort in the Bahamas and get free internal flights with Dive Worldwide
Spend a week diving some of the most spectacular dive sites of the Bahamas at San Salvador, one of the Bahamas Out Islands, staying at the newly re-opened Riding Rock Resort to enjoy great savings this summer. Combine two fabulous offers – a 5% grand opening saving at the Riding Rock Resort and free internal flights from Nassau to the Out Islands – to save up to £200 per person for a 7-night stay when booked before 17 June 2016.
San Salvador is unique among the Bahamian Islands. While the Bahamas is predominantly flat, San Salvador is the tip of the vast underwater mountain reaching abyssal depths, creating an underwater topography of spectacular reefs and plunging wall dives. The visibility and marine life are outstanding, while the area is known for regular encounters with hammerhead sharks.
Riding Rock Resort, San Salvador
Located on San Salvador in the south east of the archipelago, this purpose built resort, with a beautiful white sandy beach on the doorstep and excellent facilities, has been welcoming divers and water sports enthusiasts for over 50 years. Choose from pool view or oceanfront rooms, both featuring air-conditioning and modern amenities.
Located in the marina complex, the Riding Rock Dive Centre is SSI and PADI affiliated. The 50-plus dive sites are located on the calm lee side of the island and are teeming with marine life from nudibranch, crabs and shrimps to barracudas, stingrays and many shark species including the scalloped hammerhead. There are swim-throughs and caverns to explore, and with visibility at an average of 40 metres, underwater photographers will be in their element. Up to three guided boat dives are offered daily on two custom built dive boats.

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.
