Hi - we are based in the UK. Looking for a week to 10 days dive holiday with 2 kids (age 8 and 10). 10 year old has PADI seal team already, and we would look to get him diving on the holiday (probably do the 2 day Junior Scuba diver course), and the 8 year old will do some snorkelling and maybe bubblemaker / seal team stuff too.
Ideally we'd like to be together as much as possible - so shore diving would be good so one of use can dive with the 10 year old and one snorkel above with the little fella and then vice versa.
Some boat diving trips would be good too - so would need a resort with a kids club so the little fella has something to do whilst we go out on the boat.
We have dived a fair bit pre-kids (4-500 dives each) and are Instructor and DM.
We've dived UK Wrecks, Maldives, Australia, Red Sea, Sipadan, a little caribean, Galapagos and many more but that was all pre kids.
I'm not expecting to be able to do world class diving given the constraints of having the kids with us, but I would like something worthwhile!
Any ideas?
Springing to mind at the moment are Read sea - Marsa Alam has shore diving, so does Dahab and some sharm areas.
Cayman- Expensive, but I work for an airline so can get a deal on the flights - but need ideas for suitable hotels / dive operators.
Bahamas maybe? I've dived with stuart's cove in Nassau on a layover with my airline, but have not ventured any farther afield in the bahamas.
Any other Ideas?
