The different danger levels of wreck diving depend on the type of eve you decide to do, between non penetration wreck diving, limited penetration diving and full penetration wreck diving. Divers should check the kind of dives possible for a wreck and whether they’re qualified for it, before booking a trip, as many divers may be unwilling to do any more than a limited penetration dive.

Best Holidays For Corals Reef Diving

If you want to go coral reef scuba diving, the best place to go has to be the Barrier Reef.

Made up of nearly 2900 individual reefs, 600 continental islands and 300 coral cays, The Great Barrier Reef is the only living structure on earth that can be seen from outer space. The world’s healthiest coral reef, it’s the world’s largest single structure comprised of living organisms.

The Northern Ribbon Reefs and Osprey Reef are the two most popular ref dives, however there are hundreds of different experiences on offer.

Diving holidays on the reef range from Liveaboard to passing cruises and onshore accommodation.

Liveaboard Diving Holidays

If you want to really experience the feeling of living in the ocean for your time away both below and above the ocean surface, then a liveaboard trip is a good choice.

These diving holidays allow you to live on the boat you dive off each day and therefore give you the freedom to explore more dive sites  and find more wreck dives over your time away.

The great apart of liveaboard trips is that you can choose the right one for your budget, while still covering the same amount of ground and getting in the same amount of dives per day.

Some liveaboard trips focus on providing luxury and 4/5* accommodation, alongside daily diving, while other cheaper options tend to focus more on the amount of diving you can do each day, with around the clock opportunity working as the main pull for divers.

Popular places for liveaboard holidays include Turkey, Egypt and The Maldives. Companies such as RegalDive offer different live aboard holidays that base itineraries around different interests such as sharks, secret spots and overall tours of famous dive areas.

Best Holiday For Family Diving

While you may feel like you want to spend every moment of your diving holiday under the surface of the ocean, if you have kids with you,we’re betting that they don’t feel the same way.

Kids as young as eight can get their first taster underwater and diving is an amazing hobby to give to the little ones. As well as being an amazing way to keep active, it’s also one of the best ways to install a sense of adventure in young children, while teaching them about the planet and marine life living under the water.

This doesn’t mean however, that kids will want to spend as long scuba diving as you, so booking a holiday that offers a selection of activities is the best idea for a family scuba diving holiday.

Wakatobi in Indonesia offers activities such as Kayaking, kite making, treasure hunts for kids around their diving resorts, so you can spend half the day under the ocean and the other half playing in it!
