We've made it through another hot week!
Now we are all getting used to this endless sunshine, it would be a good idea to think about heading somewhere warm for when the grey skies and rain return, and these hot days seem like a distant memory!
So put your feet in a bucket of ice and get planning ✈
If you want some ideas, contact us and we would be very happy to help (we can also send you somewhere cold if you can't handle anymore bloody sun!)

If you too are wishing you had air-conditioning and were looking out to sea, rather than sitting with your feet in the fridge, how about visiting The Galapagos!
Imagine being able to sleep in this lovely cool cabin, before waking up refreshed ready to dive into the ocean!
Chris was lucky enough to spend time on board MY Oniric Tribute recently, and is seriously wondering why he came back!

World Oceans Day gives the opportunity for everyone to be reminded just how fundamental the ocean is to our existence. A healthy planet needs a healthy ocean, but our waters face huge risks from overfishing, climate change, and plastic pollution.

You only need to make small changes to make a difference! Simple, everyday habits like swapping out single-use plastics, using reef-safe sunscreen and choosing sustainably sourced seafood can drastically reduce your footprint and protect vital marine eco-systems.

If you want to do more, you could join a beach clean near you, which help keep Britain's beaches beautiful and our ocean safe for wildlife.

We couldn't let the day pass without wishing Sir David Attenborough a very happy 100th birthday. How lucky are we to have grown up having him teach us the importance of the natural world. An inspiration to us all (Noodle included!) 🌍

All this lovely sunshine makes us desperate to get back in the water, and for those of you who remember our good friends Dave and Lisa Allison, who ran MV Sea Spirit in the Maldives for many years, we are delighted to hear they have re-packed their fins and are back showing guests the best the Maldives has to offer onboard the Spirit of Maldives, a new spacious vessel, taking 26 divers, which explores the stunning atolls in style and comfort.

Take a look at all the details of the boat and itineraries on our website here; https://www.greatescapesworldwide.com/spirit-of-the-maldives/

We can arrange flights, and island resort extensions if you are looking for a longer stay.

What are you waiting for?!

Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by our stand at the Go Diving Show over the weekend — it’s always lovely to catch up with friends in the industry, see our loyal repeat clients, and meet so many new faces.

And a special thanks to Steve Backshall for stopping by. Graham’s brother-in-law Justin is a technical rope and safety expert and has worked with Steve on lots of documentaries around the world, so it’s always great hearing the stories of the adventures they’ve had together!

And to everyone who entered our Galapagos liveaboard prize draw — we wish you the very best of luck!
