Buddy Dive Dominica Presents: Ned & Anna DeLoach
Buddy Dive Dominica has announced that Ned & Anna DeLoach, authors of the Reef Fish Identification and Behavior books, will visit Dominica in the first 2 weeks of June 2017.
Ned & Anna DeLoach are long time guests of Buddy Dive; during the last 12 years they have visited Bonaire on a yearly basis. Instead of diving the familiar turquoise waters of Bonaire, this year Ned & Anna are very excited to explore the pristine underwater world of Dominica with the Buddy Dive team from June 3rd till June 18th, 2017.
Ned & Anna will host the Marine Life Education weeks on Dominica; 2 weeks to learn all about life on the reefs and the underwater wildlife. During these weeks they will join the Buddy Dive team and guests for boat dives, give a presentation about Reef & Fish ID and share their knowledge. The Reef ID books will be for sale at a discounted price and Ned & Anna will sign books during a Rum Punch get together.
“We have been to Dominica before and we know what a beautiful underwater life the island has to offer. We are happy that we can share our knowledge and make divers more aware of what they see during their dives,” Anna says.
Guests who book one of the Buddy Dive Dominica dive packages during these 2 weeks will receive three 1-tank boat dives Free plus a $75 food credit per room.

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.
