Hottest May Offer save £1000 – Raja Ampat Aggressor – 30th May – 10 nights – only £3875
From macro diving to big fish encounters this is a diving holiday that will be the envy of all your diving buddies and a trip to remember.

Raja Ampat Aggressor is especially well equipped for underwater photographers. The central saloon has a modern entertainment area and charging station, as well as a light airy communal dining area.
This vessel has clearly been built by divers for divers. Nowhere is this more obvious than on the dive deck. This rear platform is the largest of any Indonesian liveaboards and it sits low for ease of entry into the water or onto one of Raja Ampat Aggressor’s speedy tenders.
Package includes 10 nights full board, return flights, transfers, 3-4 fully guided dives a day.

Take Advantage of the next Bank Holiday! Book a Trip to the Red Sea – 24th May – Only £995
Hurricane has started her season of trips to the southern Red Sea and what an amazing time Scuba Travel customers have been having. The diving has been incredible with shoaling Hammerheads and Mantas one of the highlights.
May is a lovely time of year to dive the southern Red Sea as the sea temperature is still cool enough for the Hammerheads to be at their shallowest for amazing encounters, but still comfortable for divers to stay in the water for 1 hour long dives! Hurricane is a true hero in the Red Sea. She’s the right boat in the right place – her stable steel hull and speedy engines make light work of the sailing here. The diving never disappoints and few guides are more experienced than the long-standing Tornado Marine Fleet crews.
Price includes Daedalus, Rocky and St Johns Itinerary, 7 nights full board, 18-20 dives in total, direct flights from Marsa Alam. Last few spaces available!
