With the holidays behind us, most of us are thinking forward to the things we’ll be doing in the coming year. All over social media, personally, I’ve seen “okay the holidays are over, can we have summer now?” Certainly, it’s traveling time.
While it’s great to dream of blue skies and seas, calm warm nights, and all the fun that comes with them, it’s also important to plan ahead. Getting the first reservation is always key. Good deals, some of which are limited, go quickly, and with them our hopes of saving a bit of cash while having a good time.
Luckily, that’s where Planet Deepblu comes in. Our booking platform here offers trips of all kinds. Liveaboards, resort experiences, dive courses, new certifications, and even snorkeling can be found among the hundreds of options available to book directly with dive shops through our platform. When you do this, you know you’re getting a direct connection to quality dive experience providers and that you can ask them whatever you want before you book as well as when you’re getting ready to get traveling. We’d love to talk about all of them, but for now, here’s a sampling around the globe.
Shore Dives at Koloa Landing
In Kauai, Hawaii, Garden Isle Dives provides you the opportunity to get off of the shore and directly into the turtle-filled waters of the island. According to them, on arrival your gear is ready and they’ll “even put your fins on for you” if you need it. This experience is great for divers of all levels because these pros know their reefs and are ready to help out anyone. The dive shop also offers boat dives, so you’re not limited to just one option.
