Philippines: Dive into Luxury
Picked by Joanna Charter
I’ve visited the Philippines a couple of times and love sharing my knowledge with clients. A particular favourite of mine is Dumaguete because there’s a great mix of diving and the marine life is so easy to access. You’ll find everything from tiny frogfish along the Dauin coast to big green turtles on Apo Island. I like to combine Dumaguete with even more amazing diving in Anda for the perfect diving holiday.
Belize: Belize Discovered
Picked by Anna Williams
I spent nearly 10 years as a dive instructor in Belize and fell in love with the country. It has everything from beautiful rainforests and nature to incredible atolls, wonderful Mayan archaeological sites and friendly, welcoming locals – all in a country the size of Wales! There’s simply so much to do there, and I love working with customers to bring together the perfect itinerary for them.
Mexico: Socorro Liveaboard
Picked by Cath Bates
I revel in arranging trips to the Revillagigedo Archipelago (geddit?). This area is otherwise known as the Socorro islands. A Socorro liveaboard experience will exceed your expectations, due to the personal and close-up interactions with giant Pacific manta rays and playful dolphins, alongside the chance of meeting 12 different species of sharks on the itinerary. By the way, did I mention the amazing tacos?
Tanzania: Dive Mafia Island
Picked by Georgia Randalls
I really love arranging adventures for clients that are a little off-the-beaten-track, and Mafia Island fits the bill perfectly. It has a superbly managed marine park, which is home to beautiful corals and vibrant marine life. In season, over 100 whale sharks gather in the calm waters around the island! Despite this, Mafia Island is seldom visited by divers. A hidden gem!
Maldives: Ari Atoll Diving Experience
Picked by Jobi Chan
I was lucky to work as a diving instructor in South Ari Atoll in the Maldives and encountering whale sharks along the outer reef, between Maamigili and Dhigurah Island, was undoubtedly my best diving memory. Dive sites such as Broken Rock and Kudurah Thila only add to the appeal. I love arranging adventures for other divers so that they can enjoy the same wonderful experience.
Indonesia: Discover Bali
Picked by Philippa Anderson
There’s so much to see and do in Bali! The amazing diving varies from action dives off Nusa Penida - where you can find mola mola and manta rays - to fascinating muck dives with critters off the Tulamben coast. You can combine this with a culture stop in the rice paddies of Ubud or even head to the more remote western region for nature and solitude.
Papua New Guinea: Dive & Discover
Picked by Phil North
What an incredible country! I have a thirst for adventure, and few places can match Papua New Guinea. Your journey there's amply rewarded with some of the best diving on the planet, incredible beauty above the waves and some truly unique cultural experiences. Walindi and Lissenung are two exceptional diving locations that make a magical combination.
