Whether you want something last minute, or fancy Christmas in the Red Sea, there is something here for you!
Resta Grande Resort – 26th September – ONLY £795 (inc flights)
So we have finally said goodbye to our summer but the sun is still shining in Egypt and you could be lying on your lounger next week at the lovely Resta Grande resort for just £795. The resort combines two things we love: cracking value all inclusive and beautiful reef diving. The hotel features include a private beach, a variety of bars and restaurants, 3 pools and full health suite. This fantastic price includes 7 nights full board, return Gatwick flights and transfers and a minimum of 3 days diving. Departs Wednesday 26th September – last 2 spaces.
Emperor Atoll – 7th October – Maldives Seasonal Sensations – only £995 (exc flights)
If you like the idea of diving the Maldives from a small traditional boat which is full of character, at an affordable price, then Emperor Atoll could be for you. The Maldives Seasonal Sensations itinerary wends it way between Male and Baa atolls, diving the east side of the atolls, on sites that are at their seasonal hottest for sharks, manta and gorgeous coral reefs. Make this time of year stand out for all the right reasons. Though the visibility is often decreased, the increased plankton means it can be the best time and place in the Maldives to see manta rays and whalesharks… more than making up for the reduced viz.
Price includes 7 nights full board, up to 17 dives including 1 night dive, airport transfers and FOC nitrox. This is a boat only price but competitive flights can be quoted.
Murex Resort – Manado – Go Diving 2nd November – from £1745 (inc flights)
