    Dive Travel Specific Websites?

    Does anyone know of any travel websites that are targeted toward the diving community? Like websites that can search dive resorts, liveaboards, etc. Just curious because I am looking to plan a trip for the end of the year and wanted to get a head start. Usually I will do everything separate (Airfare, Hotel, Diving) but this time I wanted to try an all inclusive because I feel like it might be able to save me some money. I just got back from Key Largo which was beautiful and we had really great weather but now I want to try to go a little further south. Anyway, any help would be great thanks!

    Scottpops,
    My search for scuba destinations, dive operators and equipment includes Undercurrent. You can get it online or hardcopy. There is a membership fee but they do have a few articles on line available to the public for free.

    There's no central website that I'm aware of
    Evidently there is one with schedule information now:
    Cruises, Dates & Availabilities of Scuba Diving Liveaboards

    I think I might just have to remember this thread so that when it comes time to book next year's trip, I have somewhere else to look. . Thanks

    I always use the live-aboard company for all the accommodations and tours as they send people to the same spots and are very knowledgeable about where to stay and what tours are the best. I mostly dive with Aggressor but have found a couple of others I thought were OK.

    Dive Travel Agents with excellent reviews:

    Caradonna Dive Adventures - Dive Travel and Vacations

    Bay Adventures :: Dive Adventures and Island Vacations :: 888.599.3483

    Island Dreams Travel scuba diving vacations, cozumel scuba diving, dive travel, dive resorts, diving trips

    Ultimate Dive Travel - Scuba Diving Tours - Scuba Dive Vacation

    these people can get you travel to land-based or liveaboard dive trips pretty much anywhere you want to go. I would trust any of them. Their websites are good sources for information on dive trips, too.


    If you are looking for a specific liveaboard, like Nekton or Blackbeards or Aquacat or Explorer Ventures, etc. I would deal directly with them by their own website.
