Save up to £1,500pp on a liveaboard to Costa Rica’s Cocos Island
Cocos Island is one of the most remote and finest, diving locations in the world, and Dive Worldwide is offering exclusive savings this spring and summer liveaboard trips aboard the MV Argo when booked by the 31 March 2020.
Marooned 540km off the coast of Costa Rica, Cocos Island is consistently voted in the top ten ‘must dive’ destinations, and is one of the world’s finest locations for shark diving. Water temperature is 26 – 29C year round and most of the action is found from 18-40 metres. The biodiversity of the marine life here is mesmerising – expect white-tip reef sharks, schooling hammerheads, dolphin, mantas, marbled rays, sailfish, large schools of pelagic fish, turtles and the occasional whale shark. The water is home to at least 27 endemic fish species and the small rocky outcrop of land mass is home to numerous bird and plant species, some of which are endemic.
The MV Argo is a custom-built liveaboard that combines the practicality of a working ship with the sophistication of a luxury yacht. Sleeping 16 passengers in eight en suite staterooms, the Argo also offers a spacious salon, a dining area and plenty of dive kit and equipment storage. The liveaboard also will be carrying the DeepSee Submersible which, for an additional cost, will allow divers to descend to depths of up to 475m for some truly unique marine creatures.
Special Offer Price: from £3,419pp based on 2 sharing (SAVING £1,500pp), including 10 nights’ FB accommodation on the MV Argo, 7 days diving (21 dives) at Cocos Island, tanks and weights with Dive Worldwide (diveworldwide.com, 01962 302 087). Flights and marine park fees extra. Departs 19 April, 15 May, 28 May or 10 June 2020. Book by 31 March 2020.

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.
