Maldives Live Aboard Diving: The Ultimate Corporate Retreat

Friday, May 11th, 2012

2ark-royalIf you’re an events planner or responsible for arranging the annual corporate retreat for your organization, you may know that the trend toward adventure-oriented events continues strong, while almost universally, travel budgets are shrinking. How can you get the maximum bang for your buck?

Maldives live aboard diving is one answer that’s sure to be a winner. The Maldives is known the world over as one of the very best scuba diving locations. There are two fabulous boats working in the region: the Ark Royal Liveaboard and the Maldives Princess Liveaboard. Your team can enjoy multiple dives throughout the day with friendly, skilled guides. The soft corals and sponges in the regions are breathtaking. Many of these species can be found nowhere else in the world. Your Maldives live aboard diving experience can include diving near one of the many atolls surrounding the islands; there you can see the larger sea life including manta rays, whale sharks, hammerheads and more.

At the end of the day’s diving, enjoy the comfortable luxury of a Maldives Liveaboard. It’s the perfect setting for brainstorming or visioning sessions; you’re far from the hustle, distraction, and chaos of normal life, while wi-fi connectivity allows you to access needed files, information, and resources easily.

Maldives live aboard diving is surprisingly affordable, especially when you compare the costs to more traditional, less exclusive, less exciting corporate retreat venues. It’s an ideal option for small, dynamic companies with an active, adventurous leadership team that values unique experiences. If your team already knows how to scuba dive, that’s great. They’ll truly appreciate the majestic beauty of Maldives live aboard diving. Do some members of your team need dive instruction and certification prior to departure? We can help you arrange that – and there’s no better place to experience the magic of scuba than at one of the best scuba diving locations in the world, the Maldives!

If you’re planning a private getaway, take advantage of our current dive trip special for the Ark Royal liveaboard. This special includes 7 nights accommodations and free nitrox.

Scuba Spotlight: Was it the Great Diving that Made Bill Gates Choose Belize?

Friday, April 20th, 2012

Sunbreeze-HotelNow, we don’t know Bill Gates personally. We have to admit that right up front. But we do think it’s fair to say that a man who has attained great success and personal wealth probably develops the ability to pick out the very finest things in life. That’s why we weren’t surprised by this news story about Bill Gates’ decision to vacation in Belize, one of Central America’s best scuba diving locations.

Belize is a magnificently beautiful country. The tropical forests are lush and green and almost overwhelmingly full of life. The people you meet in Belize are as friendly as they come. There are countless reasons to visit Belize. One of the best is just off shore, where you’ll find the world’s second-largest coral reef.

Belize Scuba Diving Trips: Coral Reef Diving Done Right

All inclusive Belize scuba diving trips give snorkelers and divers of all experience levels the ability to enjoy one of the world’s most beautiful sights: a thriving, vibrant coral reef. There’s the giant reef that runs parallel to Belize, as well as numerous smaller reefs and coral gardens that surround the Cayes, the small islands off the coast.

If you’re an underwater photographer, Belize is one of the best scuba diving locations for you to cross off your bucket list. Colorful tropical fish abound, and the clear water makes getting great shots easier. Make sure to look toward the open ocean every now and then – that’s where you’ll see the larger fish species, including giant groupers and barracudas.

Holiday Gift Giving Scuba Diving TravelIt’s that time of year again: the great holiday countdown. We hate to break it to you, but there are less than 60 shopping days left until Christmas! Are you ready?

This is the time of year when we let the people in our lives know how much we care about them. Over the years, there have been trends in gift giving. During the 80s, people were into ostentatious gifts. Everything under the tree was big, expensive and luxurious. The 90s were a slightly simpler time, but by the year 2000 the trend was clear: the gift that people really enjoyed and valued was the gift of shared experience. Spending time with family and friends, creating memories that last a lifetime – this is what people cherish, far more than even the most awesome gold-plated blender. (more…)
