Now a growing trend, singles holidays are available all over the world, from Cayman Island resorts to Red Sea Liveaboard<\/a> adventures. But, with dive holidays, there\u2019s no real need to opt for one of these \u2018specialist singles holidays\u2019 and subject yourself to speed-dating evenings and awkward conversations, as scuba diving lends its-self naturally to pairing up.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re a single person looking for love, a buddy-less husband or wife, or you simply fancy a break from your friends and family with a group of likeminded people, scuba holidays provide the perfect opportunity to meet others. Here\u2019s why\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The buddy-system is your best friend<\/strong>
\nWe all know that solo-scuba diving is a big \u2018no no\u2019 but, contrary to what you might think, this comes as great news for singles or independent travellers. A far cry from being picked last for the football team, choosing partners on a dive trip is simply a matter of numbers. Before entering the underwater world, it\u2019s essential for each and every diver to be paired with a buddy; so single divers can guarantee that they\u2019ll automatically be introduced to other people. Back on the surface, you\u2019ll also have an instant topic of conversation, as you chat about the marine-life you saw beneath the surface and compare notes on the species you identified.<\/p>\n

Liveaboards are a good option<\/strong>
\nFor anyone that\u2019s concerned about being alone in the evenings or eating by themselves at meal times, choosing a boat-based holiday, such as a Maldives<\/a> or Red Sea<\/a> Liveaboard, could be the best solution. Group sizes on a liveaboard typically range between 10 and 20 passengers, who all eat breakfast and lunch together, and tend to spend the evenings eating under the stars and playing games on board. Dives and excursions are organised each day and there\u2019s usually plenty of opportunity to chill out on deck if you fancy a bit of down-time.<\/p>\n

Dedicated dive resorts are good too<\/strong>
\nMany dive resorts also offer all-in packages, where guests head off on dives together during the day, eat their meals together and often spend long evenings chatting and sipping beers at the bar. These types of resorts tend to be fairly small-scale, so it\u2019s easy to get to know the rest of the guests. As opposed to a Red Sea Liveaboard<\/a>, resort holidays offer more opportunity for a bit of time by yourself, but perhaps that wasn’t the point in going on a singles holiday?<\/p>\n

Diving over dating<\/strong>
\nThose that aren\u2019t on the look-out for a lifetime buddy certainly shouldn\u2019t be put off joining dive-trips as a single traveller. Whether they\u2019re aimed at singles, families, couples or groups, diving holidays are predominantly about diving, not dating! Independent travel is a popular way to see the world these days and stacks of divers who already have other-halves now choose to travel this way. The main thing is that you\u2019re logging some time under the surface and getting to share your favourite pastime with likeminded people.<\/p>\n
