*** Solo Traveller Diver Weeks Are Back! ***
26 November 2008
Due to popular demand Red Sea specialists Longwood Holidays have reintroduced their solo traveller diver weeks, available in the renowned diving resort of Dahab. The solo travellers’ weeks are 7 night breaks, with options for either a PADI Open Water Course for beginners or 5 day diving package (10 shore dives) for qualified divers. The weeks are designed to bring like minded individuals together who enjoy the sport in one of the best diving locations in the world.
“We had so many requests for our solo traveller weeks we had to bring them back” commented Dan Lion, Longwood Holidays Dive Product Manager. “It can be really frustrating if you’ve no one to share your passion for diving with or if you don’t fancy going away on your own. Our solo traveller weeks are ideal - you can make new friends while learning a new skill or enjoying something you love.”
All guests on the solo traveller diver weeks are assigned their own room at the 2* Bedouin Moon, where guests can enjoy spectacular views of the Red Sea and Sinai mountains and a true Egyptian ambience.
The Bedouin Moon is home to the PADI accredited dive centre Reef 2000 – one of the region’s friendliest dive centres and a favourite amongst divers worldwide. Reef 2000 is also excellently located for the solo traveller weeks as it offers easy access from the shore and is also close to the famous Blue Hole dive site.
“When thinking about accommodation for the solo travellers’ weeks it’s important that we pick a hotel which has a real social environment to encourage guests to get to know one another, which is exactly what the Bedouin Moon offers – the hotel really captures the whole laid back vibe of Dahab.” said Lion. “It’s also so convenient for the solo travellers weeks, as it’s home to Reef 2000.”
The operator offers their usual high rates of commission on all solo traveller diver weeks. Prices start at £479 for a week including a 5 day diving package (10 shore dives), while PADI Open Water Courses start at £529. Longwood currently offer 11 departure dates for each.
Solo traveller weeks can be booked through Longwood's specialist dive team on 0844 770 4877 2570.
