Learn to scuba dive in West Yorkshire with A&A Dive Academy
:: Home :: About us :: Courses :: Gallery :: Go Diving :: LET'S GO DIVING

Scuba diving is all about going to new places, meeting new people and being able to explore the underwater world . Many of our students become our close friends and as a group, we go off diving. We often get a group of divers together and go off for a week diving in The Red Sea on a Liveaboard dive boat or shore based from a hotel. A&A divers are often found in the UK at St Abbs, The Farne Islands, Scapa Flow, and North Wales, diving and having fun.

You'll find details of our next diving adventures published on this page. Hopefully you know us well enough to want to come away with us. We sometimes run specialty courses while we are away, but mostly we go just to dive. If you'd like to improve your dive skills before we go. A Wreck Diver, Underwater Photographer, or a Deep Diver course will improve your skills as a diver, increase your dive insurance cover, and open up more opportunities to you underwater.

DAN stands for Divers Alert Network. DAN operates an international network of alarm centres, active 24 hours a day, guaranteeing, in the event of an emergency, specialised assistance, to any diver, anywhere in the world. DAN also provides diving medical advice and carries out research into diving safety, with the aim of increasing the knowledge and sense of responsibility of recreational divers. It's a worthwhile addition to holiday travel insurance.

to St John and Deep South
Aboard one of the best boats in the Red Sea, "Sea Serpent" Deadelus, the small, isolated Reef, also known as Abu el-Kizan lies nearly halfway to Saudi Arabia. Its walls are equally as good as the Brothers Islands, carpeted in softcorals, hard corals & enormous sea fans . Some of the hard coral is awesome and and the underwater scenery is just as spectacular as Little Brother.Dived less often and more unspoiled this place is our pick of all the Southern sites. Expect to see schooling Baraccuda, Jacks, Tuna, Rainbow runners, Grey Reef Sharks and Hammerheads. Threshers and Dolphins can also be seen on occasions as can Mantas and Whale Sharks. A large field of beautiful anemones/clownfish, easily ranks with Anemone City at Ras Mohammed.

St Johns
This massive reef system is located furthest south and is the most remote of the Egyptian reefs before you enter Sudan waters. There are dozens of stunning dives, some on tiny circular reefs, which come to just below the surface such as four-metre reef! Huge shoals of fish congregate around spectacular vertical underwater gardens full of soft and hard corals. Fusiliers, surgeonfish and unicorn fish often swarm together, in one big feeding frenzy! Turtles are common as are Napoleon Wrasse, Grey Reef Sharks and Oceanic White Tips (see photo gallery). Hammerheads and many other shark species are commonly seen.
