Thanks to the kindness of lucky competition winner Louise Coy, UK-based liveaboard tour operator blue o two are offering a luxury diving trip to the Red Sea as an auction prize in order to help raise funds for the UK shark and marine conservation charity Bite-Back.

Bidding is open now and the auction will close 21:03 on Saturday 5th April 2014. Every penny from the winning bid will go to Bite-Back, the UK shark and marine conservation charity, and its ‘Hacked Off!’ campaign to make Britain’s restaurants shark fin free.
Taking in the world-famous marine parks at Brothers and Daedalus, this thrilling itinerary of spectacular drop offs is perfect for divers keen to glimpse some big animals at these remote off-shore reefs. Learn about the biology and behaviour of sharks in the Red Sea with nightly lectures from a representative of the “Red Sea Sharks” trust founded by our expert dive guide and marine biologist, Elke Bojanowski Ph.D, in her quest to track and collect basic population data on oceanic whitetip sharks (Carcharhinus Longimanus) in the Egyptian Red Sea.
Worth more than £1,100, this blue o two holiday includes return flights (from the UK), internal transfers, seven nights full-board accommodation on the vessel, tea/coffee/water/soft drinks, snacks, six days diving, hire of 12-litre cylinder and weights.
