    Diving holidays on Bonaire are truly special. Bonaire is a small island in the South Caribbean and at just 21 miles long, it has a welcoming and chilled-out way of life. On Bonaire diving holidays, day or night, you will find many lively bars, numerous restaurants serving tasty menus and a good selection of shops.

    • Average water temperatures are 26°C all year-round and visibility is typically 30 metres plus.

Since then, the government has committed to protect its natural resources for future generations to enjoy.

    • With the second longest barrier in the world and three of the northern hemisphere’s four atolls, if you like wall diving, Belize is paradise! Home also to the iconic Blue Hole – a sub-marine sinkhole teeming with marine life.

Experiencing and diving the Galapagos is quite simply a life’s dream come true. It’s a feeling of being somewhere that has literally shaped the path of mankind.

    It is recommended that you spend one night either side of your liveaboard in Ecuador. A two hour domestic flight takes you to the Galapagos Islands to board your boat.

    Thailand

    Diving holidays in Thailand combine some of the world’s most beautiful beaches with a wide range of breathtaking diving opportunities. The Andaman Sea off the west coast of Thailand is one of the most naturally beautiful seas anywhere, with majestic cliffs forming a backdrop to aquamarine waters. The diving in the Andaman Sea is some of the finest in South East Asia and the country offers many compelling reasons to visit.

    Thailand enjoys a deserved reputation as one of the most beautiful and welcoming countries in South East Asia. The traditional lifestyles of much of the population and a rich cultural heritage offer a complete contrast to the rapid development of the country into a modern sophisticated destination.

    The Similan Islands lay claim to some of the finest dive sites in Thailand. Accessed by liveaboard, the thriving reefs with abundant hard and soft corals highlight the dramatic terrain. The islands’ east and west coasts provide contrasting styles of diving within a relatively small area. The East coast is marked by fine coral reefs, whilst the west coast offers dramatic drift diving through granite outcrops.

    North of the Similan Islands the dive sites of Ko Bon, Ko Tachai and Richelieu Rock enjoy a deserved reputation for their large pelagic sightings. For resort-based stays, day boats operate year-round to dive sites southeast of Phuket. The dramatically beautiful seas around Ko Phi Phi provide a range of excellent dive sites that mark out Phuket as an excellent base for a resort-based diving holiday. 

    Travelling to Thailand can be completely flexible. With daily flights into Phuket, you may wish to simply enjoy a fabulous week’s diving in resort, perhaps consider a liveaboard with a stay either side in Phuket or why not add to the adventure with a stop-over in Bangkok? 

    • Paradise for pelagic lovers; sharks, manta rays and whale sharks
    • Fantastic location for both shore and liveaboard diving
    • Stunning house reefs on most islands
    • Recognised as one of the world’s most spectacular marine ecosystems
