Diving Holidays

Top Diving Destinations

Chios Islands, Greece

Malta

Sharm Diving Holidays

Sharm El Sheikh is a major tourist resort, becoming more and more popular, and more and more specialised in diving. Almost all hotels in Sharm have diving centres attached, and with perfect year-round temperatures, it's the ideal place to mix learning to dive with a fantastic holiday abroad. One reason why Sharm is great for learner divers is that huge importance is placed on underwater safety. If you're thinking of doing a PADI Open Water course, Sharm is a great place to do it. The most accessible reefs are located to the south and the north of Na'ama Bay. With almost perfect visibility all year, Sharm diving is also great for underwater photography.

Cyprus Diving Holidays

Much more than a beach party paradise, Cyprus is home to one of the most visited scuba diving sites in the world: Ayia Napa. Hugely popular amongst young people, Ayia Napa offers beautiful beaches and fantastic nightlife, as well as a number of excellent established dive centres.

Warm, clear water and great weather are complemented by the varied nature of Cyprus dive sites, and the lack of tides and currents make Cyprus a great choice for both beginners and more experienced divers. The marine life is abundant - you're likely to encounter tuna, barracuda and even the occasional turtle. Add some exciting wrecks and beautiful coral reef and you've got pretty much everything you could ask from a diving experience.

Florida Diving Holidays

Florida offers the best scuba diving in North America. Florida's best dive sites are in Palm Beach, Riviera Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach and Pompano Beach. If wreck diving is your thing, head to Fort Lauderdale, where you'll also come across world class reefs. Many sites are accessible from the beach, but the best way to see the underwater world is to go further out on a boat. Florida diving gives you the opportunity to see giant turtles, manatees, sharks, tropical fish, rays and dolphins. The Gulf Stream sweeps close to shore and gives the area warm water all year with great visibility and the best drift diving in the US.

Grand Cayman Diving Holidays, Cayman Islands Diving

Grand Cayman boasts turquoise waters and snow white powdery beaches. Enjoy the warm sunny days and mild nights offered by this exotic Caribbean paradise. Grand Cayman is one of the world's most loved dive destinations. Whether it's the warm, crystal-clear water or the long stretches of breathtaking, unspoiled coral reefs, the schools of brightly coloured fish or the spectacular shipwrecks, or the visibility, which averages 80 feet, Grand Cayman diving attracts people year after year.

Chios Diving Holidays

Back in Europe, another top diving destination is the Chios Islands in Greece. Scuba diving around the Chios Islands is like entering an underwater fairy tale: intriguing caves and rocks, neat and navigable paths between vertical walls, brightly coloured reefs and enthralling shipwrecks, not to mention stunning shoals of tropical fish. We would advise you to dive in the Chios Islands from April to June and from September to October, when visibility is perfect. These are also the best months to go on diving trips organised by the numerous Chios Islands dive centres.

Malta Diving Holidays

Malta is undoubtedly one of the best Mediterranean diving destinations. Cirkewwa in particular is a wonderful place to go scuba diving in Malta. The area is filled with colours and underwater adventure. Experience the variety of Malta's underwater flora and fauna, including cuttlefish, dolphins and sharks, barracuda and moray eels. Cirkewwa Arch stands 18 meters deep and is famous among the area's scuba divers. Summer is the best season to dive the arch, as the visibility is around 35 meters then.

Malta also offers some of the best Mediterranean wreck diving. With historic wrecks and sunk vessels a plenty, it's ideal for all kinds of divers. It's great for novices to do their first wreck dive, while technical divers can visit depths and wrecks that few other divers can. In the gin clear water, the wrecks have become flourishing reefs, home to all manner of marine life. Head to Malta for a dive trip to remember, all just a short flight from the UK.
