If snorkeling is not enough and you want to go deeper and stay for hours, then you will sign up for scuba lessons and this is when you might just get interested in conservation efforts that are already taking place.   We have many marine species that are endangered or becoming endangered and one in particular is the Giant Octopus.

This harmless interesting creature is the favorite of many scuba divers and they are happy to see them in public aquariums where an octopus can be on loans and placed in habitats to give this species a fighting chance at getting off that endangered list. Other endangered oceanic species are the Sailfish, Swordfish, Bluefin Tuna, the Seahorse, Chilean Sea Bass and the black, white and blue Marlins. What would our oceans be without these magnificent fish?

For starters, how much of South America have you already seen in your lifetime? We wouldn’t want to make assumptions, the chances of anyone having witnessed such fantastic visual sites and wonders as Machu Picchu, Christ the Redeemer in Brazil and the sights and sounds of Buenos Aires in Argentina all in one holiday are pretty slim. That is, of course, unless you have already had the joy of escorted  holidays to South American… Yes, believe it or not, escorted holidays in South America and taking all these sites and then some.

 

Of course an escorted holiday can take place pretty much anywhere on the planet. If South America does not particularly appeal to you, maybe there are parts of Asia that you wouldn’t mind seeing. An escorted tour of eastern Asia, for example, could take in China, parts of Japan and the wonders of countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines. Essentially, anywhere in the east of Asia that you can think of. By the same token, an escorted holiday in the West of Asia could take in India, Bangladesh and other interesting and exciting locations. But then again, perhaps there are parts of Europe that you haven’t yet seen. Put simply, an escorted holiday can take place anywhere on the planet which means that the choices available to you are, without exaggerating, pretty much endless.
