Egypt
As if Egypt didn't already have more than enough with impressive scenes,sizzling weather and beautiful resorts such as Sharm El Sheikh, but it is also a hotspot as a diving holiday amongst holiday makers and tourists. The Red Sea's warm waters are excellent conditions for underwater life to thrive. The crystal clear waters give you great visibility, so that you won't miss a thing.

The Southport Seaway is known for its safe waters and diverse, colourful marine life, along with many other diving centres along the Gold Coast. Divers and instructors have years of experience and can help assist with the best conditions, to make your diving tour a success.

Malta
Recently voted within the top 3 diving destinations in the world, Malta offers great versatile dives including pristine waters, historical wrecks, caves, hidden beauties and close encounters with sea life. Malta is fortunate enough to have many shallow bays which are a perfect environment for beginners to practise.

Cyprus
Cyprus is yet another popular diving spot and is home to the Zenobia wreck, which is considered one of the 5 best wrecks in the world. Cyprus has one of the longest diving seasons in the Mediterranean, giving some extra flexibility time wise. Plus the absence of plankton makes for great visibility. It is also where you occasionally see turtles; thanks to a turtle conservation scheme that has increased their numbers around the island significantly.

Thailand's island of Phuket is a true world class diving site and is a keen choice for both experienced divers and beginners alike. Thailand is yet another country blessed with transparent, turquoise waters giving you a perfect canvas for checking out the manta rays, whale sharks and much more.
