Visit Scubaverse (stand number 30) at this coming weekend’s GO Diving Show at the RICOH Arena in Coventry and you could be in with a chance of winning a dive holiday for two to Malaysia and Brunei!!!

Scubaverse has teamed up with Royal Brunei Airlines, Rawa Island Resort, Poni Divers, Radisson Hotels and Indepth Marketing & Tours to offer two people the chance to win the dive trip of a lifetime – to not one, but two fantastic dive destinations: Malaysia and Brunei!

Flying from London, the winners will first travel to Malaysia (via Brunei) to spend five nights in the idyllic setting of Rawa Island Resort, which is situated within the archipelago of the Sultan Iskandar Marine Park. Rawa Island Resort has everything – beautiful beaches, pretty beachfront villas, great food, and a house reef just metres off the shore. The dive centre is in the ideal location for shore dives, and within easy walking distance of the main resort and house reef.

Following their time at Rawa Island Resort, the winners will head back with a stop off at Brunei. Staying at the Radisson Hotel Brunei Darussalam, the winners will enjoy two days of diving with Poni Divers, the country’s only PADI Five Star Instructor Development Centre and watersports center offering jet-ski, banana boats, wakeboard and parasailing. The winners can enjoy a wide selection of shipwrecks and explore some of Borneo’s best wreck diving sites.

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.
