Dive Safari Asia Launches a New Tour
UK based travel company Dive Safari Asia have released their latest escorted tour which features two of Asia’s premier diving destinations – Anilao, in the Philippines, and the Pacific island nation of Palau.
The tour starts in Anilao which is known for outstanding critter spotting , colourful healthy reefs and pinnacles. Here the group will enjoy 6 days diving from a wonderful resort. The group then travels to Palau and boards a fantastic liveaboard for a week’s diving, encountering pelagics, sharks, mantas and more over unspoilt reefs and channels.
The first stop after meeting in Manila is Buceo. This sea side resort with 12 bungalows, set on a quiet beach in Anilao. Here the group will spend 6 nights at the sea side resort where each bungalow is air conditioned and has sea views from a private terrace. Meals are served at a water-side restaurant with beautiful sunset views and a fully stocked bar.
The resort is conveniently located with access to over 50 dive sites. Some of the most sought after critters frequent the area including flamboyant cuttlefish, several species of frogfish, seahorse and octopus, including the bluering. One can spot many types of crabs and shrimps, eels and reef fish living among the colourful coral in the area. There is something to suit all divers’ tastes – from world class muck diving, to beautiful reefs, a wreck and a cave, each dive should reveal something special.
The second part of the tour will be spent exploring the waters of Palau, enjoying some big fish diving from a luxurious liveaboard, The Solitude One. Widely known among divers for its clear turquoise water, proliferation of schooling fish, large pelagics, sharks and healthy reefs, this destination is truly spectacular. Above water the views are equally breath taking, with lush green jungle covered small islands creating stunning channels and dramatic scenery.
The boat offers luxurious air conditioned cabins, well thought out and spacious dive deck including a purpose designed camera room, an onboard Jacuzzi and spacious sunning area. Equipped with two solid-based skiffs, dive site drops offs and pickups are comfortable and easy.
This fully escorted tour starts from Manila and includes 14 nights accommodation, full board, 12 resort based dives and 4 daily dives from the liveaboard (incl. tanks, weights and guide) for £3395.00 per person based on twin/double share.

Whether freediving or diving – everyone cuts a great figure in the new camouflage suits from DYNAMICNORD.
Thanks to the specially designed camouflage pattern in beautiful colours, the new two-piece
SFS-3 and SFS-5 apnea suits are perfect for freediving. The design gives freedivers the chance to observe underwater creatures from a shorter distance.
Due to the robust and high-quality Yamamoto neoprene and high-quality workmanship, the SFS-3 and SFS-5 are also suitable for scuba diving or other water sports.
As the names suggest, the suits are available in 3 or 5mm neoprene thickness. A combination of high-quality Yamamoto #39/45 Limestone neoprene is used. This material is characterised by its special lightness and flexibility. The suits are extremely flexible and comfortable to wear while providing maximum thermal insulation. The outer flex lamination supports the ultra 4-way stretch. Thanks to the open cells, the suits fit like a second skin.
The double-clip beaver tail is a convenient system for donning and doffing. Reinforced knees and rear ensure the necessary robustness. The vented hood allows excess air to escape.
The MC-15 freediving mask and SC-10 freediving snorkel with camouflage pattern as well as the AF-70 freediving fins are available in matching colours.
The camouflage SFS-3 and SFS-5 apnea suits are now available from DYNAMICNORD dealers in great colours and unisex sizes.
