Latest liveaboard dive holiday deals from Scuba Travel

UK-based dive tour operator Scuba Travel has some fantastic offers for next month and beyond, but hurry – time is running out for those who wish to take advantage of these great deals.
Here are the details:
Red Sea Liveaboard / 9th April / Whirlwind / only £795
Save £330. 7 nights full board, up to 21 dives per day. Wrecks and Reefs is the itinerary for any diver wanting to see the best of the Northern Red Sea with world class wrecks and breath taking reef dives every day.
The Wrecks and Reefs itinerary gets to some of the most iconic dive sites Egypt has to offer, as well a few of lesser known beauties. After the check dive, this tour starts in style. Tiran and Ras Mohammed are rightly two of the best known areas for diving in the Northern Red Sea. The coral gardens play host to hundreds and thousands of candy coloured fish. The deep walls of Tiran mirror the startling drop offs of Ras Mohammed. Blue spotted sting rays, eagle rays and manta abound and the summer months see large pelagic sharks gather on the drop off. Hammerheads, Black Tips, leopard and even tiger sharks all visit the region. Cruising past Shark and Yolanda, Wrecks and Reefs takes in the Alternatives, Small Crack and Bluff Point before moving onto the wrecks. The Northern Red Sea is a wreck diver’s delight. The almighty Thistlegorm is the setting for unforgettable diving, day or night. The Kingston, Dunraven, Giannis D and Carnatic only add to the excitement. These 19th and 20th century wrecks have, over the course of time, formed artificial reefs but each is still packed with unique artefacts that tell their story.
Whirlwind is one of Scuba Travel’s most popular boats with 5 star Red Sea diving at affordable prices… just one of the reasons UK divers keep coming back to this superior liveaboard. She has a well deserved reputation for the quality of finish on board, and her long standing crew are the definition of attentive.
