Value for Money
Pre-book your diving and save....
Pre-booking your diving package usually means saving money. We have specially negotiated, preferential rates with our selected dive centre partners to ensure value for money. These include a range of diving offers that include buy-one-get-one-free and more.
Pre-booking your diving course will also ensure that you are not disappointed during busy periods, as places on most courses are limited.

Value for Diving Groups
Mini group discounts and free places for groups are available in addition to free dive packages and courses. Call our dive team on 020 8418 2570 to discuss your group booking.

Value for Singles
Special offers for singles, including no single supplements, have been negotiated with some hotels on certain dates. Plus, we offer a unique diving programme for solo travellers.

Health and Safety Standards
All our hotels and dive centres comply with our strict standards of health and safety. We have a dedicated Health & Safety Officer based in the Red Sea region, who regularly checks this compliance, and actively recommends practices and methods to constantly improve existing services.
