on

UK-based diving holiday specialist Regaldive has recently expanded its liveaboard programme in Oman with the addition of Oman Aggressor, a spacious steel yacht, built and powered for comfort, safety and stability. The 45 metre Oman Aggressor offers comfortable accommodation for 22 guests in 11 spacious, air-conditioned staterooms. All staterooms and the interior of the yacht are new with a stylish design.

The Jewels of Oman – Explore Oman’s Remote Dive Sites

Part of the popular Aggressor fleet, Oman Aggressor will commence in November 2017 with four unique itineraries to choose from:

  • Daymaniyat Islands (7 nights)
  • Musandam Peninsula (7 nights)
  • Daymaniyat Islands – Hallaniyat Islands (10 nights)
  • Hallaniyat Islands (7 nights)

One of the world’s best diving destinations, Oman is just 7 hours flight from the UK with unspoiled dive sites, year-round diving and plenty of sunshine. Oman’s nutrient rich waters support a great diversity and abundance of marine life, so it an ideal destination for divers looking for an exciting dive trip that is within easy reach.

Divers seeking pristine reefs, stunning deserts, rugged mountain landscapes, green oases, endless beaches and friendly people will not be disappointed. The Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman provide large coral reefs in the deep fjords of Musandam (Gulf of Oman), at Daymaniyat Islands off the coast of Muscat and Hallaniyat Islands off the coast of Mirbat in southern Oman (Arabian Sea), as well as untouched and undiscovered reefs and wrecks. Oman’s more remote dive sites are best explored by liveaboard.

Regaldive’s seven night Hallaniyat Islands trips aboard Oman Aggressor are currently on special offer for bookings made by 2 March 2017 and start from £1,598pp including flights, full board accommodation in a deluxe cabin, sunset cocktail party Friday evening, all beverages alcoholic and non-alcoholic), up to 5 dives per day, including some night dives, guide, air tanks and weights.

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.
