Check out these liveaboard and dive resort holiday deals from Divequest
Still wondering where to dive in 2017? UK-based tour operator Divequest have some great ideas for you to consider.
Here are the details:
Prince John Resort, West Sulawesi
Tired of diving all the usual places in Sulawesi like Manado and Lembeh?
Prince John Resort, located a short transfer from Palu in West Sulawesi, Indonesia, offers a myriad of different dive sites including wrecks, muck, walls and coral gardens. It also has a wonderful white sand beach with a house reef to explore.
From £705 per person including:
- 7 nights in a Deluxe Bungalow on a twin share basis
- Return airport transfers from Palu
- Half board (breakfast and dinner) daily plus afternoon coffee and cake
- Free wifi in the reception area
The best time to go is from May to October so why not explore somewhere different in Indonesia?
Bikini Atoll and the Marshall Islands
Truk Master – From £4840 per person for 10 nights
It’s remote, untouched and to date, virtually un-dived.
Bikini Atoll is part of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, which covers nearly 1 million square miles of idyllic emerald-green coral atolls, surrounded by the crystal-blue waters of the Pacific. A one of a kind diving paradise, as it features not only beautiful reefs, corals and wonderful marine life. Above all, it is the final resting place for some of the most significant warships in history. Bikini Lagoon is the first UNESCO World Heritage site for the Marshall archipelago and is undisputedly ranked first on any serious wreck divers’ bucket-list. This is well justified; nowhere else on earth will you be able to dive such a unique collection of historic battleships and cruisers, as well as the world famous USS Saratoga aircraft carrier with its 270m (888ft.) flight deck.
Truk Master is running special dive charters out to Bikini starting in 2018.

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.
