Join Red Sea Explorers exclusive 100m Wrecks of the Red Sea expedition this February
Diving a 100-meter wreck is one thing, but when the decompression takes place on the spectacular reefs and walls of the Red Sea, the experience is beyond compare.
The dive starts with a decent into clear blue water with almost unlimited visibility. On CCR you have plenty of time to explore, document and enjoy the wreck. And when you begin your ascent, you are not hanging in the blue but you are drifting along reefs and walls covered with soft and hard coral and surrounded by fish from the smallest Anthias to sharks or dolphins, and if you are lucky, even mantas all the way up to the surface.
Join the Red Sea Explorers team for seven days of deep diving on some of the most demanding and rewarding wreck dives the Red Sea has to offer. The expedition is ideal for expert CCR divers, but can also be joined by less experienced CCR and open circuit divers who wants to gain experience as project or support divers.
With Red Sea Explorers’ world-renowned and exclusive support for rebreather and open circuit diving technical diving, you can push your diving to the next level with all types of gear from rebreather tanks, scooters, stages and doubles. Not to mention an a la carte menu of gases. The RSE team of experienced dive guides and boat crew will make it possible to visit some of the most elusive deep wrecks in the Red Sea.

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.
