Travel That Brings People Together

Are you inspired to see the world and explore the oceans? Traveling with a small group makes every dive even more memorable. Each year, Diventures leads more than 150 trips to the world’s top diving destinations. Group sizes typically range from 14 to 24 travelers, which means you’ll have enough people to share the adventure but still enjoy a close-knit atmosphere. “With Diventures you get a chance to dive with experienced and friendly divers who you make lifelong friendships with,” says traveler Mike Stack. “For me going as a group is more exciting than going solo or with a buddy. Sharing a boat with a group all week is a great bonding experience and the Diventures Trip Leaders always keep the momentum high!”

Every trip is hosted by a Diventures Trip Leader who knows the destination inside and out. Think of them as equal parts camp counselor, safety pro and cheerleader. They’ve been there before, can guide you to the best dive sites and can even help you complete certifications on the trip if you’re working on new skills.

Trips are designed for all levels of divers. Beginners can ease into the waters, while more advanced divers can tackle deep dive adventures. Most trips allow for four or more dives a day, but you’ll also find time to gather with fellow travelers. One of the highlights is a group dinner night that celebrates the camaraderie these trips are known for. As many travelers will tell you, the friendships formed on these journeys are often as memorable as the dives themselves.

And if some of your family prefers to stay on land, they won’t miss out. Diventures helps arrange excursions where non-divers can explore local markets, hike coastal trails or simply savor the rhythm of island life.

Just an incredible experience in Grand Cayman with Diventures and Sunset House.”

Whether you’re traveling solo, with a partner or with the whole family, private travel gives you the flexibility to set your own pace while still enjoying Diventures’ expertise and concierge-level service.
