Dive
Travel.com is your passport for SCUBA adventures around the
world, whether it is to popular dive destinations or exotic
destinations off-the-beaten-track. Our dive travel
specialists assist with destination selection and reservations
for airline, hotel, car rental, travel insurance, dive packages,
transfers, meal plans, optional sight seeing excursions, etc.
The destination selection is based on the special interests
of the divers and their non-diving companions, the skill level
of the divers, and the estimated number of dives per day.
All of these components are taken into consideration when
selecting a destination and the appropriate accommodations,
resort or live-aboard vacation.
We
have alliances and wholesale agreements with top resorts,
live-aboard companies, dive shops and airline consolidators
to offer our customers the best dive packages available. Due
to our preferred agreements, we are advised of last minute
specials and discounts. We do not charge service fees for
travel arrangements and reservations. We are compensated by
commissions paid by our travel vendors. In addition, our service
includes specific destination information and lots of extras!
Our goal is to earn your repeat business and the referrals
of your dive buddies.
If travelers are able to find lower airfares
or wish to use frequent flyer mileage points, it is no problem. We coordinate the
flight information with transfers
and other components of the dive travel package. Our goal is to focus
on the details so you can focus on the diving!
Live-aboard boats offer greater accessibility to diving
locations than traditional land-based operations. Generally
speaking, live-aboards offer unlimited diving. Your only limitations
are physical stamina and the confines of your dive computer
or the dive tables. Most live-aboard boats are luxurious and
the staffs have reputations of pampering their guests. Captains
will spend extra time at a dive site in order to make a group
happy, within the constraints of getting back to port on time.
Tanks are constantly refilled; food is usually prepared and
waiting for you when you return from a dive. For underwater
photographers, this mode of travel offers unbelievable freedom
with most boats having special photographer facilities. When
comparing the costs of a live-aboard with a land-based package,
remember to include estimated hotel costs, food and diving
expenses. It’s also hard to put a price tag on convenience
and accessibility to remote locations!
