Ever fancied getting away from it all… on your own? Yeah you have.

Tour: 7 Night full board & selected soft drinks
Diving: 6 Days unlimited house reef + 9 escorted dives/dive excursions

Flight inclusive prices:

  • Single Beach Safari Tent £1095 per person

  • Single Chalet Deluxe £1335 per person*

*If you are willing to share a Royal Tent or Deluxe Chalet let Oonasdivers know, as they can assist in finding you a roommate. Discounts may apply. 

ABOUT MARSA NAKARI

Nakari is a small, quiet and slightly remote diving village that benefits from a fantastic house reef just minutes from the shore, unlimited diving, peace and tranquillity. The perfect mixture for a perfect dive holiday, and a perfect place to meet and make likeminded new friends.

ABOUT SOLO DIVERS AT MARSA NAKARI

Over the years liveaboards have become the favoured way to travel alone, yet be part of a diving group, with up to 24 readymade buddies confined to one 40m vessel.

Oonasdivers have spoken to so many of their solo guests who have really wanted to try a week at Marsa Nakari. However, being alone, and the destination being landbased, they have felt they may not entirely benefit from the unlimited diving experience that Marsa Nakari has to offer.

As a result, Oonasdivers have decided to dedicate a couple of weeks a year to bring all you solo travellers together, and enjoy their exciting landaboard at Marsa Nakari!

Included within your tour will be:

  • Airport lounge pass on departure
  • Flights Gatwick direct to Marsa Alam
  • Transfers
  • 7 Nights full board & selected soft drinks
  • 6 Days unlimited house reef diving in buddy pairs
  • 9 Escorted dives/dive excursions
  • 2 Evening presentations

For more information or to book, contact the Oonasdivers team now by calling +44 (0)1323 648924, email info@oonasdivers.com or visit www.oonasdivers.com.

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.
