Hi there,

Winter is here and many of our clients are travelling and enjoying wonderful dive holidays in the tropics. It's warm, sunny and the diving is amazing.

Did you miss a winter escape this year? Then we have some great news for you - there is still time for a dive holiday to the tropics for some sunny, warm weather with great diving - so act now! Read on for our great short break diving holiday packages in this newsletter.

There are some good options still available to Niue, Fiji and Vanuatu that our team can help you with. Plan now for a great winter holiday in the Tropical South Pacific next year or get in a short break now and escape this wet cold weather with a long weekend in paradise!

Planning Early has Huge Rewards

How often have you heard, or read, about divers’ amazing experiences in exotic dive locations, featuring incredible stories of manta rays, hammerhead sharks, the humbling encounter with humpback whales and their newborn calves, pristine untouched reefs, WWII shipwrecks, caves and a profusion of techni-colour marine life?

You too can become part of these stories if you book early. Here at Dive Fish Snow Travel it is our passion and pleasure to help clients experience their own diving dreams and adventures. Let us help you plan your next dive trip overseas. 

What's Rugby, Forums and Elections got to do with Diving?

2011 is a huge year for New Zealanders what with the Rugby, Pacific Heads of Government Forums, Elections, etc - and the success of such major events is always reliant on so many people as part of their job or as a volunteer.  So if your job will ensure that being involved will reduce your opportunity to escape to your warm tropical paradise next winter, we urge you to think about and plan your escape now before you get caught up in the hype!

OR if your plan is to escape all the madness and mayhem we highly recommend that you do this now as aircraft seats into and out of New Zealand are going to be at a premium through September/October 2011 in particular, and don't forget, the cheapest seats always sell out first.

Remember - dreams don’t just happen overnight. They need nurturing and planning Early so you can reap the rewards.

Other 2011 dates where aircraft seats will sell out early!

  • April 15 - May 1 - School Holidays
  • April 22 - 25 - Easter
  • July 16 - 31 - School Holidays
  • October 8 - 24 - School Holidays
  • Early September - Pacific Heads of Government Forum
  • Then its the Rugby!

So Call one of our Specialist Dive Travel Consultants, Plan early for next year and reward yourself with the holiday you want. Enquire now »

Niue – incredible visibility and unique diving!

Niue is a beautiful place to visit and the diving offered here is unique. One of the island’s greatest features is the incredibly clear water surrounding it. Visibility can reach up to 80 metres, and rarely falls below 30 metres. Diving on Niue is easy yet rewarding, with an interesting mix of caverns and pristine hard coral reefs to explore, and a wide selection of tropical marine life to discover. There is a simplicity about holidaying on Niue; no cities and no crowds.  It is the cleanest, safest and tidiest Pacific nation. – Read more

** limited places left to share in the amazing experience of swimming with the incredible Humpback Whales until early October!
