Silver Discoverer, features a series of scuba-diving opportunities on select voyages in 2016 and 2017, offering experienced divers the opportunity to experience top diving sites across the South Pacific, Australasia, Africa and the Indian Ocean. You will visit such regions as the Solomon Islands, the Palau archipelago and the Marquesas islands, which have been celebrated as some of the world’s most spectacular diving hotspots, featuring blue holes, hidden caves and tunnels, and an astonishing spectrum of coral fish and rare sea creatures.

The Silversea Expeditions team has carefully crafted these unique itineraries to provide you with the most awe-inspiring deep sea adventures in the Southern Hemisphere. In addition, aboard Silver Discoverer, a team of experts which includes marine biologists, environmentalists, ecologists and geologists will be on hand to share their extensive knowledge of the region.

Scuba Diving onboard Silver Discoverer:

• The programme is complimentary; however, space is limited and we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment

• The dive sites are in some of the most exotic and pristine waters in the world. The exact days and dive locations will be determined by tides and local conditions. The notification of the locations will be announced on board

• The number of dives per voyage will be determined during the cruise by the Dive Masters on board. We try to dive, when possible, at least once and often twice per day. No diving will take place on the last day of the voyage (if guests are flying the next day).

• Generally dives are never deeper than 20 to 25 meters to allow for longer dives. Often, dives are at 15 to 20 meters depth

Silver Discoverer Scuba Diving requirements:

• In order to participate in the Scuba programme onboard Silver Discoverer, guests must hold:

- An Advanced Open Water Dive License or equivalent from an accredited Certification Agency
