Murex announces 2020 Summer Special with 50% discount for kids
For those who are planning their next family holiday, Murex Dive Resorts 2020 Summer Special allows children to stay, dive, snorkel, take tours and activities at half price in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Children are loosely defined as those who are in full-time education including university and collage students – and there is no upper age limit.
The summer special is ideal for families who are trying to decide between a diving or a non-diving vacation. The Minahasan highlands, Tangkoko Nature Reserve, local villages, volcano trekking, traditional markets, coral farming and kilometers of shallow reef tops for snorkeling make this an option for families where some members dive and some don’t. Divers no longer need to give up on a diving holiday when there are plenty of other activities on the table to keep land-loving family members happy too.
For families who dive together, North Sulawesi offers diverse dive sites and phenomenal marine life. Murex Manado is a short boat ride from the Bunaken Marine Park where it’s entirely possible to lose count of the number of turtles you see on a single dive, and Manado Bay offers an array of rare and unusual critters at its thriving muck dive sites.
If a remote tropical island setting is more to your families liking, Murex Bangka delivers a full on Robinson Crusoe experience with a pristine private white sand beach, kaleidoscopic corals, schooling fish, colorful critters and passing pelagics.
In short, whether you’re a family that wants to spend as much time as possible in the water or out of the water, North Sulawesi has endless opportunities for family adventures.

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.
