Are you sick of cold windy days, ice and snow? The last blast of winter got you wishing you were enjoying the sun and surf in some far off, warm destination? What are you waiting for? This is the perfect time of the year to escape the winter chill and relax on a scuba diving vacation!
There are plenty of scuba diving vacation packages on sale from January to March. One of the best scuba diving vacations you will ever book is a trip to Cozumel, Mexico. The waters around Cozumel are host to an amazing selection of fish. The visibility is stunning - you can dive 80 feet down, look towards the sky and it still feels like you can raise your arm out of the water. The large bodies of coral and swim-throughs are amazing to dive over and through. If Cozumel sounds tempting, book your vacation for February 23- 28 for the Mexican carnival. Carnival in Cozumel is similar to New Orleans Mardi Gras, complete with parades of masked dancers and marching bands.
If it’s a new and exciting dive destination you seek, check out Roatan, Honduras. The island of Roatan is home to many well-established dive shops and exceptional diving. The valleys of coral and swim-throughs are exciting for divers of all levels and the abundance of pillar coral, vase sponges, tube sponges, and barrel sponges create an amazing landscape. Roatan divers can expect to see turtles and grouper almost daily, cowrie shells are often found if you look closely. Scuba divers interested in going beyond the average 60 ft dive may find themselves among Eagle Rays.
If you’re ready for an adventure, on land and in the water, head to the Similan Islands in Thailand. The warm, clear waters of the islands offer both gentle sloping reefs and deep, jagged trenches. The diving is quite relaxed as most currents tend to be fairly weak, giving you plenty of time to take in the view and observe the abundant marine life. Amazing coral formations and swim-throughs create a dazzling landscape and an interesting dive every time you hit the water. Watching the whale sharks and manta rays common seen in these areas will make this dive destination a scuba diving vacation to remember.
There are many months of cold, winter weather ahead, give yourself a break and head somewhere where the sun is shining and the water is warm and full of life. There are plenty of interesting scuba diving vacations; the hardest part is picking just one.

The Indian Ocean is well known for its awesome dive sites, with particular favourites being found on the North East coast of South Africa, the Maldives and the stunning islands of the Seychelles. Diving holidays to Mauritius are often overlooked, yet Mauritius is a diver’s paradise and has a number of dive sites which are well worth a dip for both beginners and advanced divers alike.

All of the Beachcomber Hotels either have dive centres on site, or if staying at the Dinarobin, at the Paradis right next door! Therefore all you have to do is wander down after breakfast in one of the stunning restaurants, to collect your kit ready for your mornings dive. Why not relax on the beach or perhaps try your hand at sailing or water skiing, before venturing out on your afternoons dive! The conditions are excellent all year round, with water temperatures between 20 and 28 degrees centigrade (5 mill in winter, 3 mill in summer). Summer air temperatures rise between November and February, but the inter seasons are also excellent with air temperature rarely dropping below 23 degrees.

The Shandrani Hotel is the only five star all inclusive which really is all inclusive! Yes, not only is all your food and drink included, but so are your dives! The hotel offers a great location from which to explore the 200+ shipwrecks lying on the island’s seabed! As the only National Geographic PADI-Dive centre in the Indian Ocean, the Shandrani Hotel offers all dives free for qualified divers. You can explore wrecks off the southern coast, or the stunning shoals of tropical fish on the extensive coral reefs.

If you are not an experienced diver, the Shandrani also offers instruction, with affiliations to CMAS, PADI, National Geographic and MSDA.

The west coast of Mauritius is a region with a variety of interesting dive spots. Average visibility: 20 to 25 meters. There is no typical ‘diving season’. Beautiful conditions exist all year round but the visibility can, of course, be affected by waves, plankton, tides or rain.

A unique experience is the sight of dolphins in the southwest! All year, in the Le Morne Region where the Paradis and Dinarobin Hotels and resorts are located, one can admire these fascinating creatures in their natural environment.

Not to miss: the famous PASSE ST.JACQUES-dive in Le Morne: Whitefinsharks, Grey reefsharks, Bullsharks, Eaglerays and Stingrays

Mauritius is not only on land but also under water, a real garden of Eden:- Clear turquoise seas, an abundance of live coral reefs and beautiful tropical fish.

Children’s diving holidays to Mauritius at a Beachcomber Hotel start with the Bubble Maker programme for children as young as 10 years old. Alternatively snorkeling and glass bottom boat trips are also popular.

Non diving partners will be happy about all the other activities and excursion possibilities in Mauritius. The Paradis and Dinarobin share a superb 18 hole golf course, plus an array of other land and water sports, including tennis, waterskiing, sailing and a wonderful Clarins Spa at Dinarobin.

Scuba Diving — The very name invokes images of cool, crystal-clear water and ocean breezes.

Imagine life traveling the seas, searching for the wildlife that lives within the great oceans of the world.

Many people interested in scuba diving are those with adventurous spirits. Still others are people passionate about the sea, and others rely on scuba diving as their livelihood. No matter your reason and your interest in buying this book, here you will learn everything you need to know to start your journey in scuba diving.

Scuba Diving — What is It?
Before you learn “how” to scuba dive you should first understand what it is and is not. Scuba diving for many is a sport. It is one that can be fun and undertaken for leisure, or one necessary to advance one’s career.

Consider for example, deep-sea fishers or marine biologists interested in exploring complex underwater realms. For people falling into this category, scuba diving is essential to their livelihood.

Chances are if reading this guide, you are interested in scuba diving for fun, experimentation and leisure. You may have already taken a scuba diving class, or this book may be your first step to learning what there is to know about scuba diving.

Rest assured you will find this beginner’s guide a comprehensive resource catering to your needs.

“Scuba” History
Scuba diving is not something new. In fact, human beings have long enjoyed the sport of diving, or holding their breath and searching underwater for hidden treasures, including starfish, seashells and the like.

For years researchers and scientists have turned to the ocean to search for hidden artifacts or ancient wrecks, trying to find clues about our history, how we lived in the past and how our past affects our present.

Here is a brief timeline of events leading up to modern day scuba diving:

Early 1500s — The first diving bell comes about. This is a metallic chamber that people would sit in, attached to a large cable, that individuals would lower into the water to move divers from one spot to another. Supported by a strong cable, divers could travel great distances underwater.

Mid 1600s — It was not until the mid 1600s the first air pump came about, allowing divers to breathe effectively and more efficiently for short periods underwater. Around the same time, divers began realizing that deepwater diving could result in a serious medical condition called “the bends” if divers surfaced too quickly after long periods underwater.

Late 1600s — During the late 1600s, a man named Edmund Halley created a unique diving bell that allowed fresh air to channel in through piped barrels attached to the device.

Early 1700s — The diving bell was further refined, and engineers worked to create cylinders that helped divers by providing compressed air and greater water resistance.

Early 1800s — The first official suit for diving came about thanks to the effort of Charles Dean and his brother. This suit included a detached helmet to provide air to divers.

Middle 1800s — The military began training participants to dive and began recognizing the need for diving experts to conduct underwater operations. Around the same time, two men patented an underwater breathing device that included a compressed air tank connected to a mouthpiece.

Early 1900s — More attention to compression sickness came about as researchers and military officials began realizing the serious nature of what they called “compressed air sickness.” You will learn more about this dangerous side effect of improper diving later.

Middle 1900s — The famous Jacques Cousteau helped create what we now know as the “aqua lung” enabling true deepwater diving safely by supplying continuous oxygen to divers for specified times. Around the same time, people began making record dives safely, to deeper and deeper regions, up to 4500+ feet on some occasions.

Hi - Planning to go to Hawaii in August for 7-8 days. Wondering if anyone had any recommendations for the best places to go scuba diving. I am certified but my husband will have to do a resort course. Also, we want to learn to surf. Which island(s) should we go to? Can we do 2 islands in 7 days? Thanks!

timbo262 asked:


We are a couple wanting to go scuba diving together in Egypt. We’ve only done a few dives each so don’t want anything too deep at this stage. We would like a nice 4-5 star hotel if anyone can suggest this near dive sites too. Any info about where to fly in would help as well. A trip up the Nile would be a bonus!
