New website: Pacific Dive Adventures now online!
The Pacific and Australasian region offers some of the finest and most iconic scuba diving on the planet. Yes, it’s a bit of a trek to get there from Europe or even the USA… but it’s underwater discoveries are absolutely worth the air miles!
In the Pacific Ocean divers will find some of the world’s most stunning coral reefs next to breathtaking picture-postcard tropical islands. Fiji, in particular, is renowned for its incredible soft corals, whilst the many beautiful islands of the South Pacific offer a kaleidoscopic bounty below their turquoise waters. Stunning drop offs, walls and tremendous fish life.. plus some of the best shark diving around.
Australia and New Zealand offer an incredible range of diving, habitats, and marine life that includes sharks, rays, turtles, whales and dolphins, as well as plenty of smaller creatures to discover. Diving the amazing Great Barrier Reef is a must that needs to be ticked off every diver’s bucket list at least once in their lifetime. At 2000km long, there is plenty to see! Add to that the wealth of topside experiences that are perfect for adventurers and explorers and you have more than enough reasons to head down under.
The Pacific region is also the go-to destination for serious wreck divers. For most divers and underwater photographers, the jewel in the crown is Micronesia’s world-renowned Chuuk Lagoon – home to the Japanese 6th fleet, sunk in 1944. Nowhere else on earth are there so many accessible wrecks, preserved in time in a coral reef lagoon.
There are other superb wreck diving spots too – in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and across the whole of the Pacific. Japan also has a number of superb wrecks and is renowned for its stunning clear waters. Tonga offers probably the world’s best opportunities to swim with Humpback Whales. So many parts of this region are still relatively undiscovered and offer once in a lifetime and off the beaten track experiences unlike any other.
So, welcome to Pacific Dive Adventures… a fantastic new online resource full of scuba diving news, blogs, travel features and deals, plus outstanding underwater photography exclusively about the dive destinations throughout the Pacific region; brought to you by the expert Scubaverse Media and Dive Travel Adventures team.
We’ve still got a couple of tweaks to make but we couldn’t wait to share our Pacific Dive Adventures with you. Drop us a line at contact@scubaverse.com or via our Dive Travel Adventures Facebook and Instagram. We look forward to seeing you there!
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.
