Since October 2018 I had been waiting to go to the red sea. I booked onto the red sea trip after hearing many stories and some divers even saying its one of their favourite places they have dived.

What a way to start the new year! We have been travelling for four months now and have been longing for the time we could jump back into the exciting world of diving.

We have been asked to let you all know about the recent Orca Scuba Diving Academy trip to the Red Sea.

My name’s Ben, I started my diving adventures with orca through my school. The staff at orca are so helpful, friendly and supportive and they have helped me to gain confidence and I am now a qualified PADI open water diver.

So an early call on Monday morning, still dark outside and off I go to Gatwick airport, to meet Mark from Oyster Diving, a London based Dive Centre, and then on a flight to Barcelona. 

After only diving for 3 months I feel like it’s a huge part of my life already. I aspire to become a marine biologist someday so I decided to volunteer in Fiji by taking part in a marine conservation project for 7 weeks.
