Dive Worldwide launches 2011/12 programme
The UK’s leading independent dive specialist, Dive Worldwide, has launched its new 2011/12 brochure revealing a new programme to the Red Sea (in style), cave and wreck diving in Malta and Gozo, Antibes in the south of France, and the Azores.
The brochure also features Pulau Weh in Sumatra – back on the tourist map at last – plus Cape Paperu in Maluku and a Miri and Mulu itinerary in /Sarawak.
Comments Teresa Bennett, Director of Dive Worldwide, “Many of our loyal divers who travel with us to the far flung corners of the world including the South Pacific, Asia and the Americas have asked if we can introduce some destinations a little closer to home, so they can enjoy an additional dive trip to their main long haul holiday; hence our new additions this year. The close proximity of both Malta and Antibes to the UK provides the perfect long weekend solution for dive addicts.”
The Red Sea – Dahab/Sharm el Sheikh
Renowned for its cheap packages, Dive Worldwide has introduced a Red Sea programme for those who would rather stay in more comfort. There are options for both hotel or liveaboard holidays including the 5-star 31m Diamond Seacilia or 34m Golden Dolphin vessels. Hotel options include the 5-star Crowne Plaza Sahara Sands at Port Ghalib or the Swiss Inn Resort at Dahab. Diving is operated by the Extra Divers dive centre.

Malta & Gozo
