Who We Are

Chris Bell
I began my working adventure in the travel industry back in 1998, after graduating from university with a BA (hons) in Tourism and Business Management. Having worked for Flightcentre in London as a travel consultant and Manager, for many years, I have been able to get an understanding of putting together bespoke packages for individuals and groups as well as dealing with business accounts, scheduled airline contracts and high street store management. This, combined with my love of travelling and embracing new cultures, drives my enthusiasm for the industry.

In January 2013 I started working for Scuba Tours Worldwide and got the diving bug! I have been fortunate enough to learn to dive in the Maldives, finish my PADI Open Water in Fiji and recently my PADI Advanced Open Water in Komodo! By combining my knowledge of scheduled flights, overland adventure and diving I look forward to putting together amazing packages for you to enjoy. For me, travel is all about experiences and I believe that there is so much of the world to explore and admire above and below the surface.

I have been a scuba diver for over 25 years and have been in the dive travel industry for the past 15 years. My dive career began in the Seychelles, in early 1993, where I lived and worked as a dive instructor for many years. I was also very involved with underwater film-making,  periodically leaving the Seychelles to embark on film expeditions around the world.  In 2003, I began my career in the Dive Travel industry, first working for Scuba Tours Worldwide, and for the past 15 years I have been putting together bespoke diving and adventure holidays for clients to the top dive destinations around the world.  Being a passionate diver and traveller, I have been very lucky to visit many of the wonderful destinations we feature, to see for myself the remarkable landscapes and wildlife these beautiful places have to offer.

Areas I have dived include:-
Guadalupe Island, in Mexico (cage diving with great white sharks).
Cocos Island off Costa Rica (schooling hammerheads and hikes through the  Costa Rican rainforest).
