The Mission of Dive Adventure Travel

“For over twenty years I have been in the travel industry and it has been my passion since a teenager. My first experience as a travel operator was when I was 18 years old. In the last ten years, I begin to shift focus from international travel to Dive based travel. When I started scuba diving I immediately fell for the art of underwater photography. My first international dive trip was to the Galapagos which changed me forever and at that point, I knew I wanted to raise awareness about the ecosystem of marine life. Then I went to Indonesia and was amazed in a completely different way. The amazing corals, the diversity of life, the array of purple-pink colors and beauty I had never seen before.

These experiences made me realize as divers we are ambassadors to the world for marine life. It’s our privilege and duty to help support protect and create a sustainable ecosystem in our world’s oceans. It is why a portion of all profits from Dive Adventure Travel will be donated to coral reef sustainability, protecting endangered marine species, support marine parks, and ending shark finning.

We consider all customers at Dive Adventure Travel to be our friends and family as we grow international awareness about the marine ecology of the world. We are a dive agency built by divers for divers. We will be there for you to help create a seamless experience. We only work with providers that we or our colleagues have first-hand experiences with. It is of utmost importance to us at Dive Adventure Travel that you have the best experience possible. For the boats or resorts to know what you need on your trip. That you have the best pricing available for a trip. That you have access to information and resources about your voyage.

We will be here to help with hotel recommendations, photography tips, airline picks, and any element of the whole travel experience that you may need. We look forward to working with you!”

Yours, Raphael Forestieri
