GoGoGo Tobago and save £225 with Regaldive
There’s never been a better incentive to escape the spring showers thanks to UK based diving holiday specialist Regaldive. For a limited time only*, the dive operator is offering a minimum of £100 and maximum of £225 saving per person on all Tobago departures between May and September 2014. The offer applies to all hotels including the new five-acre Grafton Beach Resort which was added to Regaldive’s portfolio just this week. With seven night Tobago holidays now costing from just £648 per person including flights, there’s never been a better time to GoGoGo Tobago.
Offering something for all divers, Tobago has a well-deserved reputation for some of the most spectacular drift diving in the Caribbean. Its proximity to South America places the island in the path of the Guyana current, which feeds the area with nutrients from Venezuela’s Orinoco River. This attracts an explosion of marine life and results in outstanding hard coral formations, including what is purportedly the world’s largest brain coral at Kelleston Drain, off Speyside, and immense barrel sponges. Divers exploring the Caribbean coast are in for a treat with more sheltered reefs, huge plate coral colonies and the wreck of the Maverick.
All departures between 1st May and 30th September 2014 are discounted by £100 per person. Divers can save an additional £75 on 9th July departures, or an additional £125 on 16th July departures.
For those on a budget, seven night stays at the Toucan Inn cost from just £648 per person for a limited time only. The Toucan Inn is one of Tobago’s most popular hotels and is located just a short walk away from the bars, restaurants and water sports facilities. The price includes return flights, transfers and B&B accommodation.
Alternatively, for those looking to sample the new Grafton Beach Resort, seven night stays currently cost from just £701 per person including discount, to include return flights, transfers and B&B accommodation. The resort is located above the palm-fringed stretch of beach known as Stonehaven Bay on the Caribbean coast and benefits from an onsite dive centre, freshwater swimming pool, games room, shopping arcade, various bars and restaurants and the use of the sports and spa facilities at the neighbouring Le Grand Courlan Spa Resort.
Over in Speyside on the Atlantic coast, seven nights’ at Nabucco’s Resort currently cost from £845 per person, to include return flights, transfers and B&B accommodation. The resort is located on the edge of Speyside village and commands fabulous views over the bay towards the Goat Island, former residence of Ian Fleming, and the island of Little Tobago.
Also located in the Speyside area is the Blue Waters Inn. For a limited time only, seven night stays currently cost from £794 per person, to include return flights, transfers and B&B accommodation.
A five day dive pack at any of the above resorts costs from £237 per person when diving with Extra Divers, to include two boat dives per day, air tanks and weights. The contrast between the two Atlantic and Caribbean coasts makes Tobago an ideal twin centre destination and Regaldive can arrange for dive packs to be split between both sides of the island for the best all-round diving experience.
For further information, or to book, visit www.regaldive.co.uk or call +44 (0)1353 659 999.
* The offer is valid until 31st May 2014, so get in there quick to take advantage.

Santa Divers take the Plunge for Charity
Ho Ho Ho! Vobster Quay’s recording-breaking charity Santa diving event returns on Sunday 15th December 2024 for another round of festive fundraising frivolities. Run in aid of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and Help For Heroes, this ever-popular annual fundraising event aims to raise sack-loads of cash for these two very deserving charities.
Divers of all levels are invited to grab their Santa outfits – and as much festive cheer as they can muster – and head down to Vobster Quay near Mells, Somerset for a mass sponsored Santa dive in aid of charity. In previous years, the event has attracted divers from the far corners of the UK to join in the festive merriment for a final festive dive before the Christmas and New Year break. Back in 2015, the event smashed the world record for the most Santa divers with 188 divers taking to the waters donning their festive finery – a record that remains unbeaten to this day!
Vobster Santas isn’t just about setting records – it’s also about raising some serious cash for charity. Vobster Quay encourages all divers to get into the spirit of the season to raise much-needed funds for two very deserving charities – the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and Help For Heroes.
Through individual sponsorship and online donations, divers can invite their friends, family and work colleagues to sponsor them to plunge into the balmy waters of Vobster Quay dressed in full festive finery. Since the very first Santa dive in 2007, the event has raised over £52,000 for charity. “It’s been over 17 years since the very first charity Santa dive took place at Vobster Quay and every year the event just keeps getting bigger and better” enthused Vobster Quay owner, Amy Stanton.
“Vobster Santas is a great way for divers to say a massive thank you to the both the RNLI and Help For Heroes – two very deserving charities close to our hearts. We’re immensely proud of all that Vobster Santas has achieved and hope that even more divers will join this year’s event on Sunday 15th December. I’m confident that we can make Vobster Santas 2024 the biggest yet!”.
