For those who are as passionate about above-the-water adventure as they are about below-the-water exploration, then Regaldive has the ideal offering. Having teamed up with its sister company, adventure travel specialist Explore, Regaldive is able to offer divers the best of both worlds with an action packed dive holiday and Explore Tailormade add-on.
Divers venturing to the Maldives can enhance their adventure with an Explore Tailormade add-on in Sri Lanka. Bringing together sharks, rays and world-class drift dives with shrines, iconic temples, palaces and a Reclining Buddha, there’s no need for divers to compromise on this 12 day combo. After seven days exploring the oceanic volcanic mountain range of the Maldives – home to 26 atolls, a rich marine ecosystem and reefs, sandbars, islands and lagoons – divers will transfer to Sri Lanka. There they will spend five days exploring Dambulla World Heritage Site, the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, the 5th century Sky Fortress and the mountain town of Kandy.
A seven night dive holiday in the Maldives costs from £1,331 per person to include flights transfers and Half Board accommodation. The five day Sri Lanka Sights add-on costs from £440 per person.
Those looking to concentrate on one country can undertake an 11 day dive holiday and self-drive add-on in Oman. Divers can combine Oman’s fascinating underwater life with its famous above-the-water highlights including Nizwa Fort, Jebel Shams, Wadi Bani Awf and Muscat. Below the water, they can venture to the UNESCO protected Daymaniyat Islands, admire the two small wrecks on display at the Fahal Islands, see the larger Al Munassir Wreck and admire a variety of rays, leopard sharks, moray eels, green and hawksbill turtles and scorpion fish.
A seven night dive holiday in Muscat, Oman, costs from £768 per person to include flights, transfers and B&B accommodation. The four day Self Drive Arabian Adventure add-on costs from £365 per person.
Explore Tailormade add-ons are also available in Tanzania, Thailand and Borneo.
