"These are special trips for solo divers who would like to travel with like-minded solo companions," says Divequest. "You can meet new, like-minded friends and not have to worry about the hassles of travelling or sitting in a restaurant alone. And you can avoid the dreaded single supplement if you are willing to share accommodation."
The 13-day holidays feature accommodation at Santika Seaside Resort and diving with on-site Thalassa Divers of Manado on the starfish-shaped island of Sulawesi, home to some of the best diving in the world. The diving package includes 20 dives which can be taken across a maximum of 9 diving days, with the option locally of "adding in extra dives, night dives, and trips to the world-famous Lembeh Strait or the Bangka archipelago".
Dates are: Manado Solos (both sexes) - 11- 23 November 2010,
and 19 - 31 May 2011;
Manado Girls Together (all-female) 20 May - 1 June 2010, and 10 - 22 November 2011.
The price (for 2010) is £813 per person, including airport transfers, room and breakfast on a twin-share basis in a deluxe room at Santika Seaside Resort, 20 boat dives, dive guide, but not international flights (available from about £770). Single-occupancy supplements are available from £214.
Divequest organises high-quality diving holidays to a range of top dive destinations around the world, including specialist areas such as Galapogos, Cocos and the Solomon Islands.
