WHAT’S BUBBLING
Introduced this season to Dive Worldwide’s programme are the following:
A fascinating blend of tribal communities, volcanic topography and world class reefs, Vanuatu deserves a place on every diver’s bucket list. This new trip hops from island to island of the archipelago nation, with guests making a base at the Barrier Beach Resort on Espiritu Santo and the Nasama Resort on Port Vila. It is from the former that divers will have the chance to dive amongst SS President Coolidge, one of countless WWII wrecks that dot Vanuatu’s waters. This 200m long vessel is still intact and offers spectacular diving and is home to a plethora of marine life, include barracuda and lion fish. Other highlights include the ‘champagne beach’, a waterfall and village tour and the limestone cathedral. Price: from £4,795pp based on two sharing, including 12 nights’ B&B accommodation, 14 dives, Espiritu Santo tour, transfers and return flights from the UK. Best to go: March to October.
This twin-centre holiday, takes divers to the island of Fiji, the ‘soft coral capital’ to enjoy iconic dive sites, vibrant reefs and even pelagic encounters. The trip begins in tropical Taveuni, where guests stay at the boutique Garden Island Resort. Here, there are five days’ diving in the calm bay, plenty of time to explore the soft coral, including the famous Rainbow Reef – one of the healthiest reef systems in the world. Guests then transfer to Bligh Water, where the reefs are slightly more challenging, but the rewards just as great. Soft coral gardens, large schools of fish and shark encounters are all on the cards, while staying at Volivoli Beach Resort – perhaps Fiji’s premier dive accommodation.
Price: from £5,775pp based on two sharing, including 12 nights’ accommodation, some meals, 20 dive package, transfers and return flights from the UK. Best to go: year-round.
