Whether you\u2019re a family of water babies, already PADI certified and ready to tackle some of the world\u2019s best reef and wreck dives, or you\u2019re trying something new together for the first time, a luxury family dive holiday<\/a> is the perfect way to spend time together. But just what is it about diving holidays that makes them such a firm family favourite? In short, it\u2019s a
\ncombination of a few factors, as we outline below.<\/p>\n

The diving itself<\/h5>\n

Diving is one of those rare activities that is as exhilarating and fun when you first start as it is after thousands of hours under the water. Starting out on your PADI course together as a family, you\u2019ll be putting your brains and bodies to the test, first in a study environment, then in a confined dive space before finally hitting the open water. You\u2019ll be learning new
\nskills and techniques while making visible progress throughout your holiday. Even if your kids aren’t old enough to dive, introducing them to the sport through a snorkelling or bubble making course will enable them to get a glimpse of the underwater world. For more advanced divers, you get to explore exotic dive sites including coral reefs and wrecks. You can get up close and personal with some of the underwater world\u2019s most spectacular creatures, including dolphins, whale sharks, turtles and much more. Dive sites can be selected to suit your ability levels and diving desires. And there is a huge amount of stunning dive destinations to choose from. Which brings us on to\u2026<\/p>\n

Exotic dive holiday destinations<\/h5>\n

From Oman<\/a> to Mauritius<\/a>, the Maldives<\/a> to the Mediterranean Sea, diving offers truly global adventures. And what better way to see the world as a family than by diving your way around it? Sure, diving together in the UK might still be fun but there\u2019s something about the crystal clear and warm waters of Bali<\/a> or Gozo<\/a> that you just don\u2019t get in the cold and murk of Brighton or Skegness. Plus, if some of the family just don’t want to join you on a scuba diving adventure, they are free to make use of the many other facilities on offer at your hotel – ensuring the best of both worlds!<\/p>\n

Luxury dive accommodation<\/h5>\n

The big choice you have to make as a family is whether to stay land-based or to head out on the seas on a liveaboard adventure. Each has its own distinct advantages. Luxury resorts on land come with pool complexes, spas, fine dining, tropical beaches and all the other niceties you\u2019d expect from a high-end holiday. These are perfect choices for those families with younger children or non-diving partners. But then a liveaboard lets you set sail to discover dive sites that most other divers don\u2019t get to explore. Luxury cabins, attentive staff and waking up each morning to a different view is something that the family will never forget. A diving liveaboard is a great option for older families and groups where every member loves to dive!<\/p>\n
