Diving Holiday - June - Family Of Four

JayS_3

Can anyone help suggest somewhere exciting to take our family of divers in June?

We need somewhere interesting enough for 'techie' husband, and also interesting enough for me and my two sons?

We have already dived as a family in Barbados, Jamaica, Fuerto and El Gourna/Red Sea.

We have looked at the Maldives but it seems expensive once the cost of the dives are also added into the equation?

Any suggestions out there?

Also, any suggestions for companies to book through?

Many thanks,
JayS

L'estartit on the Costa Brava. Medas islands just off off the coast has some great diving.Book flights with Ryanair to Gerona.

I wouldn't class L'estartit as great diving, unless I was on the wrong bit. I would class the Maldives as great diving , but there's no comparisom price wise. It all depend on your budget. Some of the best Med diving I've done was around Gozo and Comino, but that's years ago. Once you've been somewhere like the Maldives you get spoiled. I was snorkelling at L'estartit last year in the summer and I was cold after a while. Maybe I'm getting soft in my old age. We used to dive in quarries in Yorkshire when we were doing our training.

My hubby has dived in Sharm & Hurghada & really enjoyed them both in fact he's off back to Sharm in 3 wks time. He would like to dive at Bonaire as its supposed to be really good there. I think Cyprus is quite good as well. Malta & Gozo are supposed to be nice.
Have a look at Regal Dive's website they're very good.

Also if you do go to Egypt, Emporer Divers are fantastic.

Thanks for all your replies (I've thanked you directly too).

The dates have now changed to high season (school holidays, eek), from anytime after 22 July to 26 August). The problem is we have two sons, aged 15 and 12, who now count as adults when paying.:eek:

We would love the Maldives or Bonaire, but for four paying full price, plus the cost of all four diving too, it becomes very expensive.

Any suggestions savapenny?:A

Sorry to get back to you after so long.:o

Many thanks

I think the 12 year old you might just get away with child prices as long as you went charter.

PM me your e-mail and I will send you the file with all the Maldives deals on and the contact numbers
