Dive Worldwide Unveils New Mexico and Maldives Adventures for 25th Anniversary
Dive Worldwide is introducing new trips to Mexico and The Maldives as the operator continues to celebrate its 25th anniversary year. The new trip to Mexico offers the chance to see the spectacular sardine run, while new to the Maldives is a luxury resort and an outstanding liveaboard.
Dive Worldwide has one of the largest programmes of tailor-made and small group liveaboard and resort-based diving holidays. It features over 200 destinations worldwide, catering for beginners and experienced divers alike.
What’s Bubbling
Formed by Mexico’s Magdalena and Santa Margarita Islands, the Magdalena Bay offers intrepid divers the chance to witness a sardine baitball from the very front row. This swirling mass of fish is a feeding frenzy that brings seabirds, Californian sea lions and striped marlin together, as well as grey and Bryde’s whales, and for divers and snorkellers is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Staying a full week aboard their liveaboard, divers will relax into the charms of ‘Mag Bay’ with its islands of giant sand dunes, bird colonies and mangroves.
Price: from £4,095pp based on 2 sharing, including 8 nights’ accommodation (1n hotel, 7n liveaboard), snorkelling, 6 dives, tanks and weights, transfers and return flights from the UK. Depart October to December.
Makunudu Island Resort, Maldives
With just 36 thatched bungalows, the Makunudu Resort offers a slice of true Maldivian privacy and luxury in the Central Atolls. Each private bungalow has its own open-air bathroom, and outdoor area, and guests have a spa and superb restaurant to enjoy too. The star, though, is the resort’s Dive Ocean dive centre, recognised as 5-Star by PADI. Here, a wide range of dive sites are easily accessible and the house reef is ideal for beginner divers. Guests can hope to spot manta rays, sharks and turtles amongst the clear waters.
Price: £4,195pp sharing including return international flights, speed boat transfers, 7 nights’ full board in a beach bungalow and nine guided dives (tanks and weights provided, other equipment hire is extra).
Or book by June 30 2025 and save 30% off for those travelling in September 2025.
Discover the Maldives in luxury onboard the newly offered Spirit of Maldives. Spread over four decks, the Spirit offers luxurious cabins, a spa tub on the sun deck and a superb range of high-quality food, including a beach BBQ on Central Atoll itineraries. The Spirit has curated a range of trips that take divers to quieter, more tranquil waters. Cruise down to Addu Atoll between January and April, a UNESCO listed site, or visit the lesser-visited northern atolls, geologically one of the oldest reefs in the Maldives with well-established hard and soft corals and likely encounters with manta rays and schooling sharks.
Price: from £2,875pp including return international flights, transfers, 7 nights’ full board, and up to 17 dives during the sailing.
