1. When you are booking your flight, it is important to tell the airline that you are a diver and you may require a larger baggage allowance. As well, find out if there are any additional fees for extra baggage and what preparations have to be made to ensure there are no issues when checking in. Remember, you will likely be bringing a tank, air regulator, supply regulator, pressure gauge, tank harness, pair of diving fins, snorkel, and face mask and fins. If you book your flight through a travel site, you may be able to get a cheaper price if you pay ahead instead of paying when you check-in.

2. If you are going to a warm destination via flight, it will be easier to make sure you do not exceed the maximum baggage weight allowance. Just try to pack as light as possible. If you do exceed your baggage allowance, you will have to pay extra baggage fees. Airlines differ in their baggage weight policies. For instance, Air Transat will allow up to 20kg (44lbs) of scuba-diving equipment without charging any extra fees. Air Canada will count one piece of equipment as one piece of baggage.

3. You have to consider the financial loss if your equipment was lost or stolen. You can protect yourself if you acquire travel insurance. As well, your travel insurance should have enough medical coverage if you require medical attention. Read over your policy to make sure you have the right amount of coverage.

4. You should be able to fit some items in your carry-on bag. For instance, a face mask, scuba dive computer, certification documentation, and the log book can easily fit in a carry-on bag. It is important to remember that items deemed dangerous such as a diving knife will not be permitted on the plane. Other items such as snorkel, fins, wetsuit, etc, will go with the checked luggage.

5. It is important to have a medical kit that contains essential medical supplies. This can include: sunscreen, ear drops, band aids, decongestants, and sea sickness pills, etc.

Scuba diving and snorkeling are fun activities that will make a vacation extra special. Most resorts that are located directly on or near an ocean or gulf will offer some sort of snorkeling or scuba diving. Rent scuba gear from a rental company. When scuba diving, it is important to know your limits. It is important not to do anything that could cause you serious injury. When you are finished diving, make sure you take a day to relax before flying home as it is dangerous to fly right after scuba diving. You will need 12 to 24 hours to evade decompression illness. The most important tip for a snorkeling and diving vacation is to have lots of fun.

I dont really want to go to North Africa.

Ive seen cheap hoildays to Gambia which look great. But was wondering if there are other cheap affordable hoilday destinations in Africa.

Im from the UK, I would really like to keep the price under £800 including flights. As ive said ive seen hoildays to Gambia, but would also like to see what else is out there.

Self-catering in youth hostels

I personally use Easyjet for flights, although some prices may still be reasonable for less popular places, you are best booking the flights are the start of the 6 months window.

For accommodation, I shop around on-line for the best price, you would be amazed at the difference in prices.

I tend to check Thomsons, Bedbookers, Alpharooms, Go2Spain, Travelrepublic.

Your best bet is to get a final price for the cheapest date for both flight and accommodation, then before booking, pop into a travel agent and asking them what their price is.

Hope you get somewhere!………

any tips or websites?

i don't want to wait too long as the prices are only continuing to rise.
sites claiming to be for students are even worse :s
thanks. i'm from chicago.

i forgot that important detail!

From the UK check out http://www.skyscanner.net

From the US I recommend you jump at any fare that is under 1000 USD if you go in July/August.

Thanks

I really don't know hot to get to europe for under 900, but i can suggest doing a pacge deal, to make tuour total cost cheaper. Its through Ef College Break. All you pay for is lunch and dinner, since the package tour includes round trip airfare and hotels and a tour director. I liked it because you don't have to worry about anything and just have fun. You should check it out. I think its only for people 18-26 though since it is a student subsidized travel thing. So basically, you do the tourist thing one morning with them, and then you are free to explore and experience. Oh, and if you decide to use them I recently got a promo code for them at this fair. it is HESSELN1188 and it saves you like an extra $100. You should see if it works for you. I had lots of fun on my trip. (I went to Italy!) You just book online. Um, just google ef college break and you should find it. Its the cheapest way to travel, I've found so far-and I've looked for a long time. I don't know if that was what you were looking for, or if it helps, but that is what I did.

Personally I like:
www.routehunter.com
www.skysanner.com

They provide information about Low Cost Airlines.

After that try the big travel search engine like:
Opodo.com
Expedia.com
Cheapflights.com
Ebookers.com
Lastminute.com

Try all of them because they, usually, have different prices.

Good luck!

Try FRA/Frankfurt!
