Scuba Travel new logoThere’s no doubt about it – it’s getting colder. Yes, it’s that time of year when you begin to mourn the Summer’s passing; when you start wearing two pairs of socks; and when you realise there are only ten Fridays until Christmas (true story).

Depressing, isn’t it? Well fret not – our good friends at Scuba Travel have several escape plans for you.

Here are the details:

Bali / Scuba Seraya Resort / From £1550 inc flights

Scuba diving in Bali is an experience you will never forget. Bali is sometimes overlooked in Indonesia, but diving here is a must for anyone that loves opulent reef diving. And Scuba Seraya has built a reputation as the area’s premier dive centre. Stay here and you dive world class sites such as the Liberty Wreck (regularly in the top 10 wreck dives of the world) as well as critters galore.

Scuba Seraya is an intimate resort with only 12 rooms, set in lush gardens on the beach front. The resort sits next to world class dive sites, and as such, this really is a diver’s resort. But you do not have to forgo your creature comforts. There is a freshwater pool and beachside massage service for those chill out days. The beach is for the exclusive use of guests. The restaurant is right by the sea, and serves freshly prepared Indonesian and Western meals. The whole atmosphere at Scuba Seraya is understated elegance. Relax and forget about the world as you dive from your very own corner in paradise.

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.
