***Longwood Launches Online Bookings for Diving Packages***
December 2006
Red Sea specialists Longwood Holidays is launching an add on to its current online booking engine which will enable bookings for diving holidays to be made via the company website, www.longwoodholidays.co.uk.
To be launched on the 15 December, the new booking system allows diving packages and courses to be booked online at the same time as booking a package holiday.
“A lot of people wait til they reach the resort to book their diving. The message we want to get across is that by booking beforehand you often get a cheaper price and guarantee a place on a course or package – and now it’s easy and quick to do.” said Dan Lion, Longwood Holidays Dive Product Manager.
“ We only work with reputable PADI accredited dive centres who we have long and established relationships with, so our customers are assured a quality, safe diving experience.”
Longwood Holidays offers a range of diving packages and courses ranging from entry level to advanced. Current offers include 5 days’ diving (10 boat dives) from £115, or PADI Open Water Course from £145 (includes equipment, does not include PADI course materials and certification). Accommodation starts at £219 for 7nts BB at the 2* Bedouin Moon, Dahab.
