We freely admit we are far too scared to try this pursuit ourselves but when Oliver, the Best Man at one of our weddings decided to book it as a surprise for the groom, we were only too happy to organise it for them.

Says Oliver

“The Stag Do was excellent. Everybody loved the shark diving because it was such a unique experience, nobody had done it before. There are very few places where you can do shark diving so easily and we were very lucky on the day. Good weather, loads of sharks and only a bit of sea sickness. The guys taking us out were excellent and we got some memorable pictures. Thank you for organising such a great day for us. The wedding was magnificent as well, really really amazing.”

At Travel Concepts we were just relieved they all came back in one piece
