Diving operator Goldenjoy Dive, in association with Libra Holidays, has identified a rising number of women taking diving holidays on its specialist programme. Resident dive co-ordinator Robbie Renalson said that diving programmes were proving popular among younger women looking for more active holidays.
He commented that, “Diving is appealing to more and more women as it requires patience and concentration rather than physical strength but is still an effective weight loss sport. We’ve also noticed that women are more likely to want to further their qualifications in diving, with Egypt being one of the cheapest places in the world to do that.”
The Goldenjoy Dive brochure features a range of ‘liveaboard’ holidays and land-based courses (including PADI and technical diving courses) throughout the Red Sea Riviera, along with land based dive courses in Cyprus, Crete, Rhodes, Halkidiki and Turkey.
One of the most popular resorts for diving is Egypt, with resorts such as Dahab and Sharm el Sheikh proving to be the best sellers. Whilst the resort of Dahab is quieter than Sharm el Sheikh and lies in the southern area of the Red Sea it does offer superb diving opportunities from boats or from the shore. Popular locations include the Blue Hole and the Three Pools.
GoldenJoy Dive offer daily diving from just £26 including weights and tanks. A PADI open water course starts from £209pp and children wanting to try their hand at scuba diving for the first time can subscribe to the Bubblemaker course for just £35pp.
If you fancy diving into the Red Sea and discovering its underwater delights then Libra Holidays in conjunction with Goldenjoy DIVE offers seven nights half board at the four star Iberotel Dahabeya from £519pp. The price is based on two sharing a standard room and includes return flights and transfers. The hotel is situated on a peaceful stretch of sandy beach and facilities include a freshwater swimming pool, beach bar, table tennis and two restaurants.
