Tired of the lockdowns? Desperate for the excitement of some travel and to get wet once more? Here's a list of our dive destinations that are open right now:

Coming soon...

The worldwide situation with COVID and governmental travel restrictions continue to change. Unfortunately many parts of the world are seeing case numbers rise again (currently with lower death rates than initially seen). This is causing governments to resort once more to lockdown measures and travel restrictions.

However, some diving destinations are open for business right now -

The published schedules of many liveaboards, and resorts' opening plans, seem to change with each piece of COVID/travel bad news. So there is no guarantee the operator website information (and consequently ours) is accurate. We need to consult them re any specific trips or dates that guests are interested in. We are in constant communication with operators all over the world. So ask us about when and where you are interested in. We will get you the latest, most reliable information directly from the operators.

We have helped many of our customers re-schedule their plans to later dates and in some extreme cases we have achieved refunds from operators. We are also making bookings for you, our customers. So please get in touch if you want to make plans for your next diving adventure. We all want to move on from this. We are encouraged by the statistics of air travel safety, vaccine progress and improving treatments. We are now also able to offer COVID medical insurance.

Hopefully governments will soon be in a position to safely make normalising decisions and we can get back to enjoying our lives - and go diving!




CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS OF DIVE THE WORLD
