Diving in Tobago made easy with Grafton Beach Resort and Le Grand Courlan
Tobago is a diver’s dream with over 60 dive sites that are easy to reach with moderate dive depths and water temperatures of between 27 and 30 degrees centigrade. The waters around the island are teeming with over 400 species of fish and other sea life including turtles, as well as spectacular reefs with colourful corals and wrecks.
Guests at Grafton Beach Resort and Le Grand Courlan have easy access to the water thanks to the Extra Divers Tobago (www.extradiverstobago.eu) dive shop based on Stonehaven Beach right next to both hotels.
Extra Divers Tobago offers a choice of dive experiences under the guidance of qualified dive pros. For beginners there are try dives in the pool, PADI open water courses and a bubblemaker programme for children. More experienced divers can take advanced certification courses and enjoy more adventurous deep dives, wreck diving and even night dives.
Diving can be added to a stay at either hotel. Diving experiences cost from US$110 for a three hour Explore and Discover programme to US$550 for a one week PADI open water certification course.
Regal Dive (Tel: 01353 659 999, www.regaldive.co.uk) offers 7 nights at the 3-star Grafton Beach Resort from £1,094 per person, based on two adults sharing on a bed and breakfast basis, including return flights from Gatwick and return airport transfers. A 5 day diving package with two dives per day costs £289 per person.

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.
