Merry Christmas from Scuba Travel with the latest diving travel offers
Winter Warmer, introducing Atmosphere Resort, Dewi’s 10th Anniversary, Undersea Hunter and some Early Bird offers… check out these offers from our friends at UK-based Tour Operator Scuba Travel.
The Winter Warmer
Last few spaces available
Join Mario on his Winter Warmer™ tour and beat those winter blues with a week of dedicated Red Sea underwater photography, focusing in particular on the varied macro and wide angle opportunities at Gubal, the Thistlegorm and Ras Mohammed.
This trip will focus on the fundamentals of underwater photography – no matter how much experience you have, getting the basics right matters. If you are newer to underwater photography, we will cover the proper camera set up, available light photography then moving on to lighting and lens selection. If you have progressed through the initial stages in your underwater photography already, then you might want to experiment, setting up specific shots and coordinating with models, or try some experimental stuff like snooting, time-lapse or long exposure shots.
This will be a great all round trip, suitable for all abilities, and Mario will be on hand morning, noon and night, dishing out any help and advice you might need. Once you’ve taken the shots you will probably want to tweak and edit them so most evenings there will be assistance with using Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop to make the most of your digital creations.

Everyone is a VIP on board Dewi! Start your morning with the wake up beverage service. Dining is al fresco, with a mix of international and Indonesian dishes. You might be in a remote location, but you certainly won’t go without on Dewi – make sure to sample from the selection of fine wines on board. Between dives relax in the lounge (TV& DVD player), grab one of the ship’s sun beds or hammocks or even indulge in a full body massage.
Amazing Offers from Undersea Hunter to Cocos Island, save up to £1600!
Think of a liveaboard to Cocos and you will probably think of the Undersea Hunter fleet. Sea Hunter is a part of this outstanding fleet and a luxurious a choice as you would expect from this pedigree name. This sturdy steel hulled vessel makes light work of the long sail out to Cocos. And the diving is well worth the journey when you get there. Jump from the custom-built dive skiffs into a pelagic filled wonderland. Experience the rush of diving with vast numbers of hammerheads, Galapagos sharks, white tips, manta and eagle rays.
