MEXICO W 03 THAILAND
starved Brits, the diving here has the potential to be world class. With year round sun and deep water surrounding each island, freedivers that visit any of the islands have the chance to dive with rays, sharks, dolphins and whales. The volcanic landscape creates deep trenches, gullies and dropoffs all around the coast, and like so many islands there is normally somewhere calm to dive. One of the reasons that we go to the Canary Islands is that they offer us a really good winter alternative. From €860 per person for 1 week

hen people think of diving in Mexico they think of the
Cenotes. The Cenotes are open top caves that break the surface throughout the Yucatan peninsula. They are the entrance to the Mayan underworld and more specifically the gateway to a network of underground rivers that spans thousand of miles. For freediving this offers a unique chance to dive in the middle of a jungle, in generally crystal clear freshwater. Beyond the Cenotes you have the incredible Pacific coast and the sea of Cortez on one side and the Caribbean sea on the other. From €1325 per person for 1 week
THAILAND W 5
e have a special relationship with a group of indigenous sea
nomads from the Andaman sea, the Moken tribe. We have visited them a couple of times with an international group of freedivers. The diving in Thailand is wonderful. The water is warm and in the right places the marine life is abundant. The best site in my opinion is Richelieu Rock, near the Surin Islands. This is a pinnacle that juts out of the water in the middle of nowhere that attracts the most incredible marine life. It’s a must see. From €1150 per person for 1 week
