Orlando-based company, Hollis Gear, has announced the unveiling of its new range of technical diving products, including a piece of revolutionary equipment.

The company has teamed up with VR Technology to launch the Explorer Sport Rebreather; a piece of scuba diving equipment that enables users to enjoy their time underwater without air bubbles blocking the breathtaking views.

The piece equipment

is not a fully closed circuit rebreather or a pure semi-closed system, but instead, a device that uses both functions. The Explorer sport rebreather is light, compact and uses a single gas, Nitrox. It is electronically controlled to produce a balance of PPO2 and quality dive time and can be used by both professional divers and recreational divers enjoying scuba diving holidays.

It’s not just young travellers that choose to take part in adrenalin-pumping sports while abroad on holidays. A new survey carried out by Gnu Insurance has revealed that tourists over the age of 50 are choosing activities such as water skiing, parasailing and scuba diving during their breaks on foreign shores.

According to the survey, water skiing, parasailing and scuba diving holidays are the top favourites for mature travellers, followed closely by windsurfing, surfing and roc

k climbing.

Despite the risks involved in these adventurous activities, 13 per cent of the over 50’s tourists said they would go away without taking out travel insurance, and a third of these say that they are happy to take the risk.

The travel company, ULookUBook.com, says that Egypt is likely to see a rise in tourists from the United Kingdom this winter as more travellers are expected to escape to the country for sun, sea, sand and scuba diving.

The company is expecting a surge in travellers booking scuba diving holidays to popular coastal Egypt resorts such as Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada over the winter months.

Ian Raine from ULookUBook.com, said: “We saw Egypt holidays i

ncrease in popularity throughout the summer and expect the destination to pull in a large number of tourists during the winter months. This belief is obviously shared by the Egyptian Minister for Tourism, who expects to see tourism income increase in the next few months.

“Egypt is a great destination and any Egypt holiday can include a jaunt to the Pyramids or a scuba diving lesson. The weather during the winter is always very warm, so Brits will not only be treated to a range of activities

but brilliant weather and stunning scenery as well. We are very excited to send more and more people to this great destination.”
