Check out these INSANE last minute deals from Scuba Travel
UK-based tour operator Scuba Travel has some really, really good last minute deals on offer right now – and when we say last minute, we mean you’d better go pack now!!!
It would be totally worth dropping everything though – just check out these crazy dive holiday offers:
Philippines / Malapascua / Exotic Island Dive Resort / 17th February / Only £1,345
Save £250. Only £1345 including Cathay Pacific flights via Hong Kong. 7 nights half board staying in a deluxe room at the Exotic Resort, a small charming resort with a high standard of service. Package includes 10 dives with the resort’s 5* dive PADI centre.
Malapascua is a tiny island in the Philippines with a big reputation that is all too well deserved, with endless white beaches and lush tropical groves. A diving holiday in Malapascua mixes up big fish sightings with macro and muck diving against a backdrop of flourishing soft corals. The star of the show are the thresher sharks. Normally shy and elusive, the Exotic Resort has a proven track record for getting you closer and witnessing behaviours seldom seen before! Hammerheads and manta can also be seen. When you are not looking for the big fish, spend an hour or two on one of the many gorgeous reef dives.

Red Sea / Whirlwind Liveaboard / 11 February / Only £895
No plans this weekend? Why not sail away on the award winning Whirlwind. Departing from Hurghada, enjoy 7 nights on board on a full board basis (twin share cabin). This is a classic itinerary in the Northern Red Sea with up to 22 dives over the week.
This is 5 star Red Sea diving at affordable prices… just one of the reasons UK divers keep coming back to this superior liveaboard.

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.
