  • Underwater PhotographyUnderwater Photography
    This section is devoted to sharing the best photo tutorials, techniques and tips for all types of underwater photography. We cover wide-angle, macro, supermacro, behavior, composition, different shooting conditions, shooting with specific gear and much more.

As soon as you hear the word “diving” you think of all sorts of different diving activities.  Diving as we mean it here in the phrase Diving Holidays simply means swimming time underwater. There are quite a few types of diving holiday. The most common forms of diving are snorkelling (also called free diving) and SCUBA diving.

SCUBA short  for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus is a system first developed by Jacques Cousteau in which high-pressure air is stored in tanks and reduced to a breathable pressure.

Since then the diving world has moved on and holidays specifically for diving or holidays in which diving plays a small or large part can now be found all over the world.

Here you will find my diving reviews of various holidays as I learn to dive and then enjoy my new diving skills on holidays all over the world. Starting with Diving in the Red Sea along with my husband we hope to dive next in Goa see Diving in Goa and with a bit of luck early next year we should have a page on Diving in the Dominican Republic.

Niagara Falls Canada

Niagara Falls Photogallery

Niagara Falls is not one waterfall as many believe but actually 3 falls.

  • American Falls (between Prospect Point and Luna Island)
  • Bridal Veil Falls (between Luna Island and Goat Island)
  • Canadian/Horseshoe Falls (between Goat Island and Table Rock)

Niagra Falls Trips

This is one reason why you should allow plenty of time for your trip to the fall as one couldn’t possibly experience the enormity of Niagra Falls in one short trip.

Niagara Falls Trips are great for people of all ages. The Falls are a view like no other. It is an absolutely amazing site. People from all over the world come to visit Niagara Falls to get a chance to see nature’s outstanding spectacle. Over 5 billion gallons or over 2 trillion litres of water rushes over the Niagara Falls every hour.

US Citizens do not need a passport to visit Niagara Falls and Canada although you are required to have proof of your citizenship as well as a photo ID. You should bring your Permanent Resident Card/green card with you if you have one.

Return trip to the U.S. from Canada is exempt from passport requirements.

Dolphins at Dolphin Beach Resort?

Can you see dolphins at Dolphin Beach Resort?

Dolphin Watching & Whale Watching

Are there  dolphins at Dolphin Beach Resort?

The Dolphin Beach Resort is the perfect destination for your next getaway. Once the sun sets, get ready for a great night out, and only a short walk away, you’ll find fabulous restaurants, Unique boutiques and shops.

Jump  to Dolphin Slideshow

Bottlenose dolphins are probably the only dolphin species you’ll get to see at St. Pete Beach. It’s quite noticeable that there is very little mention of this on Dolphin Beaches own website. The nearby Clearwater Beach may be a better choice for seeing dolphins – home to several species of dolphins, including Bottlenose dolphins, Atlantic spotted dolphins, and Risso’s dolphins.

Dolphin Watching & Whale Watching

What is the best time to see dolphins?

The best time to go dolphin watching in this area is during the months of April to October. If you want to see dolphins (and whales) a holiday to Tenerife in the Canary Islands could be a good choice. In South Tenerife you can see whales and dolphins all year round. Summer weather is good but many prefer the more moderate winter weather. More about Tenerife Weather.

Sea Turtles

Five different sea turtles species are found in Florida’s waters and nesting on the beaches. All sea turtles found in Florida are protected under state statutes. More about the Turtles

La Gomera Walking

La Gomera Walking Holiday

Walking Holiday 8 Days & 7 Nights

Visit Macs Adventures La Gomera

Discover the botanical paradise of La Gomera on foot. La Gomera, the greenest of the Canary Islands, lies just 30 kilometres off the coast of Tenerife, but is a world away in terms of atmosphere and landscape. Steep cliffs along the rocky coastline give way to volcanic peaks inland and deep gorges, or barrancos, limit access to many parts of the island. La Gomera’s greatest treasures are found in the Garajonay National Park, among the dense vegetation of its mysterious laurel woods, where centuries-old trees clothed in moss give the impression of a tropical rain forest. In the valleys sculpted landscapes of terraces of banana, papaya and mango trees are equally beautiful. The rugged coast of steep cliffs and small coves are another delight.

Accommodation

You will spend two nights in San Sebastian, at the beautiful 4* Parador hotel and five nights in comfortable rural hotels. All are good family run hotels, with an authentic atmosphere and great hospitality. The rooms are simply but comfortably decorated and have en suite bathrooms. The hotels in Vallehermoso and Hermigua are favourites as the buildings are beautifully converted manor houses.

Take a Taxi to Cairo

Egypt is an absolute nightmare for auto travel and getting to the Club Med Louxor Cairo or nearby resorts can get a real pain. So why not take a pre-booked taxi and arrive at your hotel relaxed? You really don’t want to take a random taxi, even at the airport, so try and book a reputable Cairo taxi firm in advance.
