Its Here!
Well its been quite some time in the making, but we can now announce that the destination for Dive Extravaganza is...Sipadan Island.
It’s a long way to Sipadan, so those of you who are not into long haul travel this trip might prove tedious, annoying and frustrating. To those that can really get into the journey being part of the holiday this is going to be ideal. Also this trip is intended for Sports Divers and above. Don't be disheartened if you haven't got the ticks in the book yet there is enough time and training trips in the calendar to qualify up to this level in time for September.
