You can make all of the choices to design the perfect dive holiday with world class dive sites like the “Medas Islands” and “Cap de Creus” within easy striking distance of your base. Oh and by the way they are also a BSAC Resort Dive Centre!

Goody Bag Gift

All divers attending Scuba Santas 2011 will receive a link to a 5% discount on all dive holiday packages from fleetdive.com. The perfect sneaky trip away for a weeks diving for a group of 6.

Raffle Prize

Fleedive.com offer a holiday designed for 6 divers, they provide a 7 seater car and collect divers from the airport. The accomodation is a 3 bedroom house on the canal, and caters for 6 well. The terrace of the house borders the canal where there is a Valiant DR750 alongside and afloat. Two tanks are supplied per diver which can be filled at the local dive centre.

It is possible to rent just the house so fleetdive.com have something to offer not just divers but also groups of non-divers or families.

The raffle prize entitles a group of divers a 30% discount against a week or even two for either the complete dive package OR just the house.

A summer week for the package costs around 2800 euros for the whole group. The house alone would be 1500 euros peak week. That represents a saving to the winner of between 500 and 900 euros approximately  which has to be worth the cost of a raffle ticket would you agree?
