Scuba Diving & Snorkelling Holidays

Top Scuba Diving Locations

Clear waters teaming with exotic marine life are heaven if you're passionate about scuba diving or you're eager to learn to dive. With resorts in the Mediterranean, Mauritius and the Red Sea, we have a variety of locations for you to choose from.

PADI dive centres

All our dive centres work in partnership with PADI registered instructors (Professional Association of Diving Instructors), all of whom are English speaking and are fully qualified.

FREE instruction dive for beginners

Our free discover scuba diving session (except Egypt) takes place in the swimming pool and is a gentle introduction to the underwater world. Once you've learnt the basics we can take you into shallow open water. You can book a range of PADI courses from the UK and children from 8 years and upwards can learn to dive too.

Experienced, qualified divers

For those who've already mastered the basics, we offer fantastic open water trips, tailor-made to suit your experience. Please remember to bring proof of your qualification.

Egypt

Egypt is a diving paradise and is one of the top diving spots in the world. We have two Red Sea resorts in Egypt; the Hilton Dahab and the Intercontinental Abu Soma. Both of which offer full diving programmes.

Snorkelling

If you don't feel ready to scuba dive, snorkeling is a great way to discover life on the sea bed - there's still plenty to see.

Safety First

Your safety is important so if you would like to scuba dive, you'll need to complete a medical history form. You may also need a physical check up. If you're over 45 years of age or have a previous medical condition, please bring a Doctor's certificate confirming that you're fit to dive. Whether you can or cannot dive, will be entirely at the discretion of your qualified instructor whose main concern, at all times, is for your safety.
