For many of our guests in Europe the days are getting shorter, the temperatures are dipping, and the weather is grey for much of the time, so this is a great time to lift the spirits by planning a warm and sunny 2023 holiday. With the chaos of the festive season about to engulf all those who will be preparing to celebrate, Summer 2023 may be the last thing on the mind but before we know it the new year will be here and holidays won’t seem so far away!
Spain’s Costa Brava enjoys the very best of the summer weather in the Mediterranean and is just a short flight away if you live in Europe – flights tend to be cheaper if you book further in advance so getting organized early is likely to save you money. Euro-Divers Spain offers wonderful diving opportunities at the area’s best underwater locations with Costa Brava’s largest natural marine park of Cap de Creus right on the doorstep. Stay at Hotel Cala Joncols for peace, tranquility and quite possibly the best Spanish food you will ever taste and have the convenience of having the Euro-Divers team onsite or, if you prefer to stay in Roses or nearby and the team at Roses harbour will take care of your adventures.
Aside from getting your place to stay and flights booked, why not look into furthering your diving skills during your next holiday? The winter months are the perfect time to snuggle up at home and complete the online study towards your next course with the PADI eLearning facility, saving you precious time during your stay in the sun. There are many courses available including the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, Rescue Diver and a wide array of specialties. If you have a non-diver accompanying you on holiday, the Open Water Diver theory can be completed online too.
The next best thing to being on holiday is planning a holiday so we wish you a very happy planning time and we hope to see you in Spain during Summer 2023.
Everything started with my Open Water Course at Koh Tao, Thailand. I’m hooked with the first breath I took underwater – this magical and peaceful world with all these different colors and creatures made me forget about everything else. It felt like an addiction.
This time made me realize that I don’t want to keep diving only as a hobby. I wanted to become a Diving Instructor and make diving my profession.
I was working as an entertainer in one of the resorts in South Malé atoll. The first time I tried diving I absolutely fell in love with it, so every day off I would go diving.
I was lucky enough to meet people from Euro-Divers who helped me complete my instructor course and employment later on.
That trip changed everything. Since 2014, I visited more than 50 countries in three continents.
2019, 2020, 2021 – still in Maldives, enjoying what I love the most.
Im sonnigen Süden (Ägypten) lernte ich im Urlaub die unglaubliche Unterwasserwelt bei einem Schnuppertauchgang kennen und lieben.
Anfangs arbeitete ich im Tauchcenter im Büro, mir wurde jedoch schnell klar, dass ich die Gäste nicht nur über Wasser sondern auch unter Wasser begleiten wollte. Somit machte ich die Divemaster Ausbildung.
I studied Hotel management and ended up working for several years in different Hotels/Resorts around Italians seaside where I spend my days off diving and achieving the Dive Master rating.
I choose to stay in Oman because of its unspoiled dive site, beaches and many undiscovered dive places! We do not have mass tourism here and the country itself is spectacular besides being the safest place to live in.
Bored and burnt out of the stressful life in Holland, I quit my job as Manager Back Office & Finance and I went to Curacao for holiday. On this tropical island I took my first breaths under water with Instructor Marc, who is still my buddy in life.
Diving keeps me grounded, relaxed and connected with Mother Nature (myself). It supports me to let go, to put things into perspective and it helps me to stay focused and balanced in my position as a manager.
But diving was not at all my purpose of the journey, in fact I was not even a diver yet, I became a diver after I got passionate in freediving in Egypt in 2012 while freediving with dolphin in the wild, eager to become a snorkeling guide, I did my life guard licence and then my PADI open water!
I love freediving but scuba diving is an all other story for me, learning scuba diving make you discover part of yourself you didn’t know, you learn to control things that you would have never imagined possible, I regularly see many of my students discovering how calm they can be underwater when in life they tend to be hyperactive and then in the other hand I see calm or introverted persons becoming excited and move like a torpedo underwater 🙂 so diving might not be for everyone but it is definitely to discover!
I decided after my hospitality studies to enter this fascinating new world. I have started my career in Club Med as Guest Service and had the opportunity to travel some of the famous destinations for diving or snorkeling.
I am the perfect example of someone who was scared of diving, the only advice I could give is to believe in yourself.
But since I was young, I knew I wanted to travel the world, to go on adventures, have fun and meet people from everywhere. Unfortunately, those jobs didn’t give me the opportunity to do it so after 5 years I decided to move to Thailand.
Scuba Diving is a sport of passion.
During this time, I wanted to try something new, so I started scuba diving and I will never forget my first underwater experience. I felt nervous at first but at the same time a lot of excitement.
Some people might think that diving is a difficult sport, but there are many ways to enjoy safe diving for any age or gender.
