What is a guided group tour?
When you go on Scuba Travel's guided group trips, you travel in a group with a person who is an experienced traveler and knowledgeable and experienced guide, (compare the English "Host"). Your guide is a person who loves to travel and dive. They can take care of and help with logistics and guiding at the destination if necessary. The benefits of going on guided group trips include security, companionship and convenience. Because the tour leader can help deal with any problems and coordinate and inspire on site. These people have traveled with groups before and can provide tips and inspiration for future trips and destinations.
Many people like to travel in groups but don't want to have as much focus on a particular activity. Then our guided group trips, which give a little more space for your own time and are less controlled, may be a better alternative than our ambassador trips. Over the years, interest in these trips has grown.
Our hosts for these trips have traveled and dived extensively and are happy to share their experiences and insights, making the trips as enjoyable and fun as possible for you and the other participants.
How do I sign up for a guided group tour?
When you have found a trip you are interested in, it is easy to email us or call and register. Of course you are welcome with questions etc. For those of you who are thinking of extending your trip, you can of course do so. You can leave earlier or return home later and if you want help with extension programs, we will of course help with that too.
Experience more in a group, share experiences and find friends for life
These trips are perfect for those of you who are traveling alone but would like and want company. Many people who travel in groups find new friends. Maybe you appreciate simple things like having company on the boat or at the dinner table. Just having someone to talk to is generally experienced as fun. When you travel in a group, it is also easier many times, you have extra eyes at airports. There you can leave luggage without having to lug it around everywhere. You share the experience with others and can talk about what you saw below the surface, etc. Guided group trips are simply trips with someone who is on the trip and in place with you and the other travelers.

Jennie Soriano
- Passionate diving enthusiast
I was completely captivated by the underwater world, its inhabitants and mystery when I started diving in the dark Baltic Sea 16 years ago, and that feeling continues to this day. I dive as often as I can to discover and learn more. My curiosity is never quenched and I'm just as happy diving in tropical warm waters as I am at home in slightly more challenging and colder conditions.
I live in Sweden's "diving mecca" Lysekil, to get closer to the sea and have easier access to some of Sweden's most species-rich diving waters. To improve my knowledge of life under the surface and opportunities to take better photos, I have studied marine biology, fish ecology and fish physiology. My great interest has led me to a lot of experience in terms of diving and photography and I have had the opportunity to travel a lot and have worked as a diving guide in exciting countries such as Thailand, Egypt and the Canary Islands.
One of my absolute favorite destinations is the Philippines with its diversity of species and fantastic opportunities to study the smallest marine animals up close, either through a lens or just with the naked eye. I have spent many months around this lovely country and know the country, the diving and the people well.
I have been chairman of the Swedish Sports Diving Association's UV-Photo committee. There we work to develop rules for competitions, materials for courses and organize workshops. Together with my colleagues, I have had the pleasure of organizing the Swedish Championship in UV photography, been a judge in the Nordic Championship and in the photo competition "Wreck in picture" and team captain for the Swedish national team in the World Championship in Turkey.
Over the years I have met divers and photographers who have inspired me, guided and helped me develop and that is exactly what I hope to do for others.
