Scuba Diving Holiday Accommodation

Scuba diving holiday holiday rentals enables you to explore the underwater world and to enjoy the sight of coral reefs, or the playful "Nemo" Clown Fish and other colourful tropical fish. In the Far East, Thailand offers some excellent diving in the islands around Phuket and further offshore in the Andaman Sea. In the U.A.E. around Dubai and Sharjah, the shallow waters of the Persian Gulf have wrecks teaming with Angelfish and Snapper! In the Mediterranean there is something for everyone from Spain, Italy, Greek islands, Turkey, Sardinia and also Majorca to Malta and Croatia to Cyprus. Just around the corner, scuba diving in Canary Islands offers some surprisingly good diving with their volcanic origins evident in the underwater landscapes. Heading West; some locations like Stuart Cove’s in Nassau, offer fish feeding experiences of Sting Rays and Reef Sharks as added attractions, whilst other dive sites in the Caribbean, such as the Cayman Islands, (Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac) are well known for close encounters with turtles or dolphins.

However, there are also wrecks both old and new to explore; some with an unknown history behind their sinking and others with a story to tell. Barbados has a long history as a port, with many easy wrecks to dive in Carlisle Bay, or the SS Stavronikita a.k.a. "The Stav." sunk in the marine park on the West coast and is now a home to many fish and soft corals. There is also the attraction – however unlikely – of diving a previously undiscovered wreck and discovering treasure! For many SCUBA divers, wreck diving offers the best of both worlds as they effectively become artificial reefs and become a home to reef fish, soft corals and sponges.

The basic SCUBA qualification is the Open Water Diver course, where you study both the theory and learn the skills needed to safely enjoy the sport. Then it’s off to Open Water to demonstrate your competence and comfort to qualify for your "C" (certification) card. It is possible to do the Open Water course during your holiday, but getting the qualification before you travel leaves you free to enjoy your vacation. Once you’ve qualified, there are many specialities available to help such as www.divehorizons.co.uk/courses.html who can help you enhance your underwater experiences. Like many adventure activities it is also important to keep your skills up to date, so if you’re thinking of looking for scuba diving holiday rentals, taking a refresher session in the pool is a good way to prepare for your trip.
