New Red Sea itinerary and LIDS show offers from Scuba Travel

Published

on

Scuba Travel logo 2

Join Scuba Travel for their exciting new ‘Red Sea Relaxed’ itinerary which is very rewarding, but a more relaxing and slower paced alternative to the more usual wrecks and reefs itinerary.

Red Sea Relaxed 21-28th May 2016 – 7 nights full board Liveaboard Whirlwind – £975

With the same amount of dives available but at fewer locations, allowing you to see the best dive sites at different times of the day, this works brilliantly for photographers but is also proving to be a big hit with people that prefer to take things easier and with less rushing about.

Some sites during the week will be “Open Deck” like The Barge and also at the Thistlegorm. Once you’ve been initially briefed the boat will stay for the day or longer and you can dive whenever you want. So from about 5.30 until 19:30 in the evening you have the usual four dives, but the timings are up to you and your buddy.

After a two-year tour of UK art galleries, community spaces and aquariums, the Shark Trust’s acclaimed Oceanic31 exhibition takes its final bow at the Royal Geographical Society later this month. And the unique collection of artwork, depicting 31 species of oceanic sharks and rays, donated by 31 artists, is now open for bids from art lovers and shark enthusiasts. The online auction, launched today, will close on the 7th December at 8pm (BST). The money raised will support the Shark Trust Oceanics Programme.

People can now bid on 27 of the artworks by visiting this website:

It is a chance to own a beautiful piece of original art and to support the Shark Trust. The timing of the auction also means that these would make a very special Christmas gift for any shark-lover.

The diversity of pieces mirrors that of the sharks and rays they represent. You can bid on paintings, digital creations, sculptures, mixed media and more. You can pick your favourite artist or species of shark. Or you can select the perfect artwork to make a statement in your home or office. Whichever you choose, you will be supporting the work to protect these amazing animals.

One of the pieces of art has been selected to be auctioned live by Steve Backshall at the For the Love of Sharks event at the Royal Geographical Society in London on the 29th November. In addition to this, two further pieces will be raffled at this event, giving people a chance to win an incredible piece of shark art. For the Love of Sharks is the Shark Trust’s flagship evening. A night to celebrate sharks. Steve Backshall is the headline speaker at this event that will see other prominent shark advocates join him on stage.
