Beginning this November, divers will be able to escape for a winter sun diving adventure to Aqaba, Jordan, more easily than ever before with the advent of new weekly flights from easyJet. Dive Worldwide, believes the Jordanian resort of Aqaba, home to treasures both above and underwater to be one of the finest dive destinations offering everything from wreck diving, snorkelling and sandy beaches to the nearby UNESCO-protected Wadi Rum and Petra.
The service, with a flight time of less than five hours, begins on the 10th November and runs each Saturday through to 23 March 2019.
Visit Jordan
With a 25km-long coastline, offering 20 shore dive sites, and warm waters year-round, Aqaba is a dive location suitable for all levels of experience. This week-long trip to the resort showcases the very best of the southern part of Jordan. Guests will enjoy a 10-dive package in the Red Sea, encompassing everything from reef to wreck dives. There may be marine encounters with feather tail stingrays and hawksbill turtles and the chance to dive at the Oliver’s Canyon and Cedar Pride sites, renowned for their wrecks including a huge freighter sunk in 1985. Divers are also able to make excursions out into the desert to explore the local villages and historical sites, and learn more about this fascinating country.

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.
