Check out these awesome deals on Bali, Maldives and Red Sea diving from Scuba Travel
There’s no doubt about it – it’s getting colder. Yes, it’s that time of year when you begin to mourn the Summer’s passing; when you start wearing two pairs of socks; and when you realise there are only ten Fridays until Christmas (true story).
Depressing, isn’t it? Well fret not – our good friends at Scuba Travel have several escape plans for you.
Here are the details:
Bali / Scuba Seraya Resort / From £1550 inc flights
Package includes flights, transfers, 7 nights Masionette full board, 10 Tulamben dives and unlimited house reef diving at this intimate resort.
Scuba diving in Bali is an experience you will never forget. Bali is sometimes overlooked in Indonesia, but diving here is a must for anyone that loves opulent reef diving. And Scuba Seraya has built a reputation as the area’s premier dive centre. Stay here and you dive world class sites such as the Liberty Wreck (regularly in the top 10 wreck dives of the world) as well as critters galore.
Scuba Seraya is an intimate resort with only 12 rooms, set in lush gardens on the beach front. The resort sits next to world class dive sites, and as such, this really is a diver’s resort. But you do not have to forgo your creature comforts. There is a freshwater pool and beachside massage service for those chill out days. The beach is for the exclusive use of guests. The restaurant is right by the sea, and serves freshly prepared Indonesian and Western meals. The whole atmosphere at Scuba Seraya is understated elegance. Relax and forget about the world as you dive from your very own corner in paradise.

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.
