Events for September 12, 2020 - May 5, 2019

Join Faith Ortins, VP of DUI, and world‐renowned photographer, Amos Nachoum on a truly remarkable expedition. The itinerary we designed is not only rare, but unique and daring befitting the 100th anniversary of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s heroic rescue of his crew from Antarctica in April 1916.

Come join DUI aboard the Solomon Star, where we will spend 10 full days of diving in the beautiful waters of the Solomon Islands. Situated to the south east of Papua New Guinea and only 3 hours by air from Australia, the Solomon Islands are one of the most peaceful and beautiful areas of the Pacific. Comprised of 992 islands, of which 147 are inhabited, the Solomon Islands has some of the most pristine dive sites in the world. Unspoiled because of the remote location, there are not many divers to put pressure on the reef and fish. You have caverns, wide-angle reefs, large sea fans, soft corals, impressive large pelagic such as sharks and mantas, and rare macro critters. The Solomon Islands promise to have something in store for every type of diver!

Cold water diving at it's best! Come join Faith Ortins and explore Newfoundland!!

Diving day and night, in sandy, rocky or mixed sea beds, in caves or shipwrecks…the potential of the Azores is almost endless in terms of diving spots and types of diving. It offers adequate spots for various experience levels, from beginners to professionals, and the adventure may start with simple snorkeling in order to leisurely enjoy the abundant marine life of the archipelago’s crystal-clear waters. On the other hand, diving an off-shore seamount or in blue water is a guaranteed adrenaline rush and requires an adventurous spirit.
