Sharm El Sheikh | Feb 5 – 12 2022
Sharm offers some of the best diving in the world, with a reef on your doorstep, amazing sites at Ras Mohammad a short boat ride away, and potentially the options of venturing further afield to the Straits of Tiran or wrecks like the Dunraven.
We will be diving with James’s Anthias Divers team, and the trip is open to trainees and qualified divers as we can offer a range of PADI courses or just dive for fun!
At this time of year the water is warm by anyone’s standards (other than those based in Egypt who think 23 degrees is ‘cold’!) and land temperatures tend to be pleasant and around 20 degrees. Visibility on dives is amazing and there is a phenomenal amount of life to discover under water.
Philippines Reef, Macro & Threshers | March 19 – April 3 2022
After 3 amazing trips to the Philippines, we just have to return again to this exceptional diving destination to experience the pristine reefs and true biodiversity of the underwater life, big and small.
Our 2022 trip will take in the stunning reefs of Southern Leyte and the thresher sharks of Malapascua. Lynne has dived both locations and stayed at both resorts and will accompany the trip.
Southern Leyte is one of the hidden gems of the Philippines; on the little visited eastern side of the Visayas, tourism is low key, meaning the chances are you will have the whole reef to yourself and the reefs, well, they are simply stunning! It is not guaranteed, but there is a chance of seeing Whalesharks too!
Sogod Bay Scuba Resort, there are not so many resorts that have a house reef like SBSR, with pigmy seahorses, turtles and frogfish being common place. The resort is small, clean and tidy and well run by Phil and Pedro, who as enthusiastic today as they have ever been about their wonderful underwater world.
Malapascua is the only place in the world where recreational divers can predictably see thresher sharks. The sharks come up from the deep for a clean on Monad Shoal and it is not uncommon to see several or more individuals during one dive.
Exotic Resort was the first to start diving with Thresher sharks. The dive centre has a friendly and well run operation and with six boats available, there are no issues about missing out on going anywhere! The resort is perfectly located right on the picturesque white sand Bounty beach.

‘Back In the Water’ Portland | May 21-22 2022
This weekend is planned as a shallow dive weekend, for those that need to just get their kit wet, brush the cobwebs off their gear and simply get back under water again!

It is suggested that divers have some experience UK diving, are drysuit trained, although a warm wetsuit is possible in the summer months, and have deployed a DSMB. The trip will not be accompanied by an instructor

TRIP FULL Isle of Man Holiday | August 4 – 8, 2022
After previous awesome trips to the Isle of Man (and sadly missing out in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID) we have organised another holiday for 2022. The diving around the island is some of the best in UK waters with plenty of life, a good number of wrecks, playful seals but above all the visibility is nearly always excellent at around 10-15m (famous last words). This trip allows for 8 dives in total spread over 5 days.
The dives shall all take place on Mikes excellent and well equipped dedicated dive boat out of Port St Mary or Port Erin (depends on the weather). The boat has good space on the back for 10 divers plus an inside cabin area for when the weather is not so kind. The boat also benefits from an onboard W.C. and diver lift. One of the best features of diving in the IOM is that no matter which way the weather may be coming from Mike can always get the boat out.
Most of the dive sites are 30 mins or less on the boat which allows for a return to port between dives for refill / lunch / sunbathe……whatever you like really.
