Deborah Dickson-Smith - Diveplanit: Global travel - S02 E12
Oct 19, 2021 Season 2 Episode 12
Matt Waters / Deborah Dickson-Smith

As the world starts to open up,  I reckon it is time to take a look and remind ourselves as to what is on offer.

Joining me today is Deborah Dickson-Smith, a writer, editor and publisher who has built a
career in the travel media industry.  She has managed to travel (and dive) through most of
the South Pacific and Southeast Asia.  Deb now uses these experiences to design tailor-
made dive holiday experiences for her clients at Diveplanit Travel.

Over the next 2 episodes, Deb and I talk through numerous destinations that every diver should have on their bucket list and highlight some of the up to date travel requirements for the destinations mentioned.

Deb and partner Simon Mallender launched Diveplanit in 2012, initially a blog to share
dive travel experiences and highlight marine conservation issues. Diveplanit has since
morphed into an online dive travel guide, content marketing agency and dive travel
agency, with the purchase of Diversion Dive Travel in 2018.

DIVE AND TRAVEL INSURANCE - Trust me, when the time comes and you need to get assistance, you need insurance.
