New Paul ‘Duxy’ Duxfield Red Sea photo trips with Diverse Travel and Emperor Divers
Paul ‘Duxy’ Duxfield has joined forces with Emperor Divers to lead two Red Sea liveaboard trips offering relaxed flexibility and personal advice on photo, video, processing and production.
At the forefront of underwater photography and travel for many years, Duxy brings with him a light-hearted take on the diving world and how it has changed the way we now take underwater photographs and video. He combines his time helping people to choose and use cameras, housings, strobes and lenses, escorting trips and running workshops around the world.
Each itinerary has been specifically tailored to provide fantastic photographic opportunities with the bonus of Duxy’s knowledge.
Enjoy ‘open deck’ diving on at least three days during your week – dive with your buddy between 6am to 6pm at times that suit you. There will also be three guided ‘excursion dives’ with the Emperor guides and/or with Duxy himself. All teamed with the usual high levels of service from Emperor Divers.

Dive Worldwide Announces Bite-Back as its Charity of the Year
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.
