Don’t leave things to chance. Don’t leave home without it. Travel Insurance is highly recommended.

Swim with Sharks on Holiday

Sharm el Sheikh This resort is known for being a terrific place to go snorkeling and scuba diving. There are all sorts of interesting creatures to see under the water here so you’ll be entertained throughout the time that you’re diving in the area. Of course, it’s the sharks that you’re really there to see and they’ll certainly accommodate you.

Dominican Republic Last time I was in Dominican Republic, I was fortunate enough to take a snorkel with sharks and rays excursion from Bavaro. It’s a great excursion that only takes up a morning, you get picked up by the boat then you do normal snorkeling before going into a pen where they keep sharks and manta rays. What a buzz ! On the way back there is dancing and rum, crew and staff were excellent.

Maldives Located in the Indian Ocean, these amazing tropical islands are now available with major tour opertors Thomson and Thomas Cook. If you do book a holiday to The Maldives, you will find that the resorts here offer unique activities including the possibility of a shark swim. It is said to be one of the safer places to swim with sharks and is favoured by people who want to take their children on the expedition.

Australia There aren’t too many places in the world that are better known for the beauty of their coastline than Australia. If you get the chance to travel to the amazing Great Barrier Reef, challenge yourself to dive into that water with the sharks that love the location as much as you will. South Australia and the West Coast of Australia also offers some great opportunities to go diving in shark waters.

The Bahamas If you want to encounter more than just one type of shark, the Bahamas is a great place to do it because it’s got the best diversity of any other shark diving location. Sharks here range from the Great White down to the smallest runts in the shark litter. You’ll be swimming cage free on the tours that are given here; just wait for the tour guide to toss some bait into the water and then join the sharks for their food fest. Try not to get mistaken for the meal! West End, Grand Bahama is a favourite place for many people who are seeking to swim with Tiger Sharks but the tours in that area do require cages.

Dublin

Dublin is the motherland of many a famous playwright, poet or artist and it is perfect for those wanting to see its creative attractions, not forgetting the James Joyce Museum and the birthplace of George Bernard Shaw. The Irish capital is a city that hardly sleeps, and the numerous shops, cafés and clubs, situated amongst Georgian squares and flower-filled parks, prove that it is an exciting place to be day or night. Public transport could be better, tourists might want to take an all day bus card if getting around a lot but the city centre is fairly compact.

Thanks mostly to Ryanair, but also Aer Lingus and others, there are plenty of cheap flights to Dublin. Check our “who flies where” function on our cheap flights page, and you will be to able to compare flight prices from all airlines.

Thought to be the oldest city in the world, Amman is a reminder of ancient civilisations.

There are also many museums here, but the most contemporary is the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts, which houses works by Jordanian, Arabian and international artists. Known as the “White City”, because of the colour of its houses, Amman is a sight to see.
