New programme 2010

We have chartered the luxury vessel 'the Hanse Explorer' and the expedition style vessel 'Professor Molchanov' for our exclusive dive expeditions to Antarctica in 2010.

Diving in Antarctica is an unique experience for the Advanced Open Water diver. An incredible scenery, icebergs, penguins, whales, Leopard Seals chasing penguin chick and an amazing underwater world is waiting to be explored. An interesting marine life filled with creatures that look as if they come from another place like Giant Isopods or Salp.
The beautiful surroundings of the Antarctic Peninsula is a paradise for all, divers, adventurers, naturalists and photographers.
The opportunity to be in the company of thousands of penguins, watching whales and seals, and cruise around in our zodiacs between brilliant white icebergs and ice floes will amaze you with awe.

Please have a look at our Antarctic Dive Expeditions 2009 & 2010 for information on dates and rates.

Circumnavigating Spitsbergen Diving Expedition

In July 2009 we organise a dive expedition circumnavigating Spitsbergen on board the expedition vessel Professor Molchanov.

The Arctic is a place where everything seems bigger, glaciers mirror the sunset, setting fire to mountain tops, and nothing can prepare the traveller for his or her first sight of the indisputable King of the Arctic on the sea ice: the Polar Bear.
Diving in the Arctic is an unique experience for the advanced diver.
When we sail further north and east we will encounter more ice floes with resting seals and have good chances of spotting whales. The presence of Polar bears and Walruses in Spitsbergen keep our guides alert with rifles at all times and we maintain the highest level of safety in combination with quality diving and great landings for the best photographic opportunities.

Date: 25 July – 04 August 2009 (10 nights/ 11 days)
Rates from € 3.280
Dive package: € 575
Fuel surcharge: € 320 per person

On board the m/v Hanse Explorer

Allthough we are known to be specialized in cold waters, we also enjoy the warm waters of the Pacific and the Indian Ocean. With our new tropical programmes we offer you expeditions to warm water destinatons. Always with the same element of exploring pure eco-systems in our minds.

Many areas of French Polynesia are still relatively undeveloped and undiscovered and offer adventurous travellers exciting excursions on land and by sea.
The gorgeous Society Islands and the remote archipelago of the Tuamotus offer everything from shallow lagoon dives with rays to the adrenaline-pumping pass dives with walls of grey sharks. Tahiti's fields of hard corals are also home to a wide variety of tropical Pacific fish and reef dwellers from clams with vibrantly-colored mantles to the curious Napoleon wrasse. Manta rays, hammerhead sharks and dolphins also frequent these waters which are renowned for their big animal encounters.

Dates:

25 May – 04 June 2009 (Papeete - Papeete)
05 June – 14 June 2009 (Papeete -Papeete)
