Scuba Diving

Escape one of our dive holidays and enjoy the freedom of the sea, diving amongst beautiful coral reefs, shipwrecks, hundreds of multi coloured fish and marine life of all shapes and sizes.

Scuba diving is a fantastic experience and our diving package holidays allowing you to explore a unique underwater world. The Mediterranean and Red Sea are great for a first time diving holiday as they both offer warm calm waters, good visibility, reliable weather and an abundance of marine life.

Diving is available to pre-book through us in many of our resorts with try dives available in the pool through to a whole range of PADI dive courses and dive trips for more experienced and qualified divers. The flexible approach to all of our activities and the scuba diving holidays we offer means that you can choose to do as much or as little as you like.

Whether you are a seasoned pro or a first timer keen to try this new adventure, we are able to provide you with a safe environment to enjoy the thrill of scuba diving holidays.

Professional, qualified, English-speaking instructors are on hand at all of our scuba diving holiday centres when you pre-book with Neilson.  All centres are PADI recognised and use modern scuba diving equipment. Most of our centres, in particular Dahab in Egypt offer a flexible mix of diving with sailing, windsurfing and mountain biking.
