Dive trip to Sardinia


At the end of October, we will be running a dive trip to the northeastern part of Sardinia, a location we have never been to before but one that is highly recommended as having some of the best diving in the Mediterranean due to its location and the well established marine park.







With warm, crystal-clear water, this is the perfect winter dive destination. The marine life is abundant and along with the normal life you would expect to see in the Mediterranean you have the chance to see dolphins, turtles and Mediterranean bamboo sharks, and for all you lovers of small things, there is a wide range of Nudibranch to be found on the reefs and in the wide seagrass meadows.

If wreck diving is your thing you are in for a treat with some of the best wreck diving in the Mediterranean just offshore from where we are staying with the likes of the Chrisso wreck and Relitto di Molara to explore, this dive trip has something for everyone.





We plan to fly out on the 25th of October with a stopover in Germany to catch our connecting flight to Sardinia. We will have prebooked taxis waiting to take us to our accommodation which are a set of apartments. The apartments have two bedrooms with beds which can be doubles or singles and the price is based on 4 people sharing each apartment. Every apartment comes with all the basics included such as air-conditioning and a fully equipped kitchenette.

We will be diving with Tavolara Diving ( www.tavolaradiving.it ) which is just a short walk down the road from the apartments and is a fully equipment dive centre with 2 dive boats, a 9.5-meter hard boat and a 7.5-meter zodiac, so we can take a maximum of 16 divers for this trip. Tanks and weights are included in the price, and Nitrox diving is offered for just 6 euros per tank. You can also hire full equipment for 110 euros for the week, or you can take your own equipment with hold luggage on the flights at around the £44 mark. You can also hire equipment from underwater adventures with a week's hire for £50 so it does work out cheaper if you don’t mind taking a suitcase.





The village we will be staying in has its own port and two lovely beaches plus a good bus service for exploring the rest of the Island so if you have a non-diver who would like to travel with you there is plenty for them to do while we are out diving.

The flights are with Jet2 and leave Stansted at 08:05 on the 25th of October and the return flight is the Jet2 flight leaving Sardinia on teh 1st of November at 12:30 and landing back at Stansted at 14:05.The price of these flights are £352 and you will need to book your flights yourself. These flights might change depending on price changes when we book and we will book once I know I have enough people to run the trip so this is more of a guide at teh moment to give you an idea of the price but we will go with the cheapest and most convenient flights we can when we book.

The cost of the holiday is £799 for divers and £375 for non-divers. The cost covers everything apart from the tourist tax which must be paid there and is 2 Euros per person per day. The deposit required at the time of confirmation is 30%, a second deposit of 30% to be paid 40 days before arrival and the balance to be paid 10 days before arrival.

If you have any questions or would like to book on this trip please get in contact with us here at Underwater Adventures.

Diving Deep Spot

Deep spot, at 45.45 metres, is the deepest scuba diving pool in Europe and the second deepest diving pool in the world and we will be running a dive trip there over the weekend of the weekend of the 31st of May and the 1st of June.

With warm clear water, simulated caves and swim through and a wreck, Deepspot is a great plus to scuba dive and with it being indoors you can dive it any time of the year and be guaranteed great diving conditions, there are also tunnels for spectators to walk through while watching the scuba divers so you can bring non-diving friends and family to watch.





Several different zones with different purposes will definitely suit everyone's needs. The shallowest zone allows divers to don equipment easily in the water. The next level features simulated cave spaces. If you go a little deeper, you will find a sunken boat, and at 20m the entrance to the deepest part begins, descending to a depth of 45m.

Located in Mszczonów, Poland, around 45 mins from Warsaw, the diving centre is easily reachable and should cost around £25 each to get to as long as you are happy to share a taxi.

The plan is to fly out Friday the 31st of May on the 15.05 Wizz air flight from Luton to Warsaw Chopin, Stay in Warsaw for two nights and fly back Sunday evening on the 17:25 return Wizz air flight, and because you can rent your equipment there you can travel with just an overnight bag and not worry about hold luggage for your trip. There is a bus from the airport to the city centre for around £1 but if you are willing to share a taxi it's only a few pounds each.

On Saturday we will group up to take taxis to Deepspot for our first dive at 10 am, we will then have a little break where we can get some food at the onsite restaurant before our second dive at 1 pm. Each dive is around £55 (dependent on the exchange rate) and this covers all the equipment hired for the dive.





Sunday is just a chill-out day while we off gas after the two deep dives the day before so you will have a chance to take a look around the wonderful city of Warsaw and enjoy the Polish culture before your evening flight home.

Paul Rubens will be organizing the trip so if you let me know if you are interested I will pass on your details to him so he knows how many dive spots to fill, the payment for the two dives will need to be paid to confirm your space on the trip. You will also need to book your own flight and accommodation but if you are willing to share or would just like to be in the same hotel as a few of the others please let me know and I will sort that out for you.

Finally, if you would like to go to the bottom of Deep Spot, we will be running a deep diver course over the weekend of the weekend of the 17th and 18th of May. The price for the course is £249 but if you are a member of the dive club it is just £199 for the full course.
