Our friends at UK-based dive tour operator Scuba Travel have some great new offers available:
Hurricane is Back in April – Loyalty Offers
Scuba Travel are so excited that Hurricane is just about to emerge from an extended dry dock. According to Tornado Marine, she is on track to be in the water by the 2nd April ready for her sea trials. This award winning liveaboard worked exceptionally hard last year and has really been given some extra love and attention. Bathrooms have been replaced as has the air con system, and a new outdoor seating area is amongst just some of the updates. So many of you love this liveaboard and keep going back on her. Partly because of her superb crew and Captain – who will be back this year. And partly because she is just the right boat in the right place for the best diving in the Red Sea.
If you travelled on Hurricane in 2017 Scuba Trave will gve you an extra 10% off the advertised price for any May or April departures and if you’re a loyalty club member you’ll get another 10% off that too!
Example: 25th April is on offer for £1165. If you travelled on her in 2017, you only pay £1048.50. If you are a loyalty member and have travelled on her in 2017, you only pay £943.65.
This offer is valid for new bookings taken between 22nd and 29th March.

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.
