WHAT IS DIVE-TOURISM?

Specialized travels for underwater swimming is right what’s called dive tourism.

By its destinations dive-tourism might be internal and international, and in its turn is divided into two categories.

Daily-diving

Diving is done either from shore, or from ship or boat. Number of dives a day is determined by Your wish and by local conditions. The difference from other types of diving is that everyday You return to the hotel.

Best of all such a travel suits for family vacations, including with kids. Your non-diving companions can have a rest and even swim with You, with a mask and a snorkel, near the dive-site.

The convenience of living ashore is irreplaceable, especially at initial training and first dives in open waters, when You have an opportunity to independently choose intensiveness and time-table of studies.

One of the additional advantages of this type of dive-tourism is that it’s possible not only to watch the underwater world, but to learn the country better, its customs and culture.

If You prefer a quiet rest with the family, want just to dive some and take a training course, and don’t strive to see as many dive-sites, as possible, then we recommend this type of travel for You and Your family!

The first version of daily-diving is from shore, that is you’re taken to a dive-site in a car, and after that you change your clothes, put on the equipment, enter the water from the shore and dive, and after diving return to the hotel in the same car.
The bright example of such diving is Malta, because the island is small, and it’s easier to ride to the opposite side, than to go by ship.

The second version of the daily-diving – is what usually offered in Egypt: you arrive to a port (to a so called «marina»), board a ship and leave to dive, then you return to the hotel and have a vacant evening.
Such variant is very interesting and sometimes is more convenient than the first one, because You can dive from ship in places, situated rather far from the shore.

A substantial advantage of living ashore is that a person exposed to kinesia, don’t suffer from sea-sickness during long ship voyages (modern medications can take away all symptoms of sea-sickness), and lives in comfortable and habitual conditions of a hotel.

Quintessence of diving – dive-safari

You arrive to a point of departure, board a ship, a so called «safari-boat», and go for several days to sea, and do only diving.

During a day trip the choice of dive-sites is rather limited — you need to come back to the hotel in the evening. But there are so many wonderful sites that are so distant from the shore, that you can’t reach them during day trip.

This is, perhaps, the most interesting type of dive-tourism, because you have an opportunity to get to such places, where it’s practically unreal to reach from shore – moreover, you dive where there’s no crowd: far from shore there’s no such thing as a lot of divers.
And that means, you can admire underwater wonders in untrod places.

During dive-safari there emerge common ground and friendly atmosphere, forms a team of friends and soul-mates. During safari the people spend a lot of time together– in planning the dives, in discussion of seen underwater and night talks in the companion cabin or on deck.

At that, during safari you don’t loose time for waiting for transport and transfers, and that’s why You can accomplish 3-4-5 dives a day, that is - effectiveness of your diving is substantially higher. By this reason dive-safari is just great.
And because a safari-boat combines in itself a hotel, a means of transport, a dive-center, a restaurant-bar, and sometimes also jakuzzi or mini-pool, this is all very compact and comfy.

Our club arranges yearly up to 10 club safari-trips.
We also offer a number of various safari programs on different vessels all around the world.

Dive-safari — colorful impressions that You will remember for life.

You shouldn’t forget about internal tourism.

It’s worth-while to look at beautiful places of our great Motherland - Russia, in the vast sweeps of which there’re quite a lot of nooks for divers.

As of late, there appear more and more dive-centers, and their quality is bettering, and volume of their services is widening. That’s why, if only several years ago practically all divers went to dive abroad, because there were no dive-centers in the country, today the situation changed, and geography of trips inside the country is constantly enlarges: Teletskoye lake, Temirtau, White sea, Black sea, Kamchatka, Baykal – everywhere already appeared dive-centers, which offer all the range of services needed for divers.

There appear safari-boats and dive-centers, which organize trips to lakes of the European part of the country. In our country we have same and often even better opportunities for scuba diving, than abroad, that’s why diving of any and every kind should be mastered.
Diving in Russia is good because it’s really manifold. Without going abroad, you can see such things which you can come across nowhere.
