www.lux-review.com Page 9 LUX 2022 Travel & Tourism Awards Established as the Best Dive and Ocean Travel Agency in 2022, ZuBlu was launched with the promise to deliver breathtaking underwater experiences, whilst protecting the future of the planet’s oceans. Dedicated to making the searching, discovering, and booking of scuba diving and underwater adventures easier, ZuBlu’s passionate team works with over 600 ecofriendly resorts, liveaboards and dive centres to turn dream dive experiences into a sustainable reality. ZuBlu Best Dive & Ocean Travel Agency 2022 Dec21498 ZuBlu was founded by two professional underwater photographers, Adam Broadbent and Matthew Oldfield, backed by decades of combined experience. Together, Adam and Matthew launched ZuBlu with the hope of turning dream dive experiences into reality while encouraging everyday divers to become environmentally-conscious and self-aware of their contribution towards sustaining the health of our oceans. With first-hand, in-depth knowledge of some of the most beautiful underwater destinations and eco-friendly dive operators around the world, ZuBlu offers ‘once in a lifetime’ experiences that help to forge a connection with nature unlike any other. First established as a travel platform for scuba diving and ocean experiences in Asia, ZuBlu has since crafted a connection to over 600 resorts, liveaboards and operators across 85 of the planet’s most renowned diving destinations. “We’ve selected our partners not only for the incredible experiences they offer but also for their focus on conservation and improving their eco-friendliness. The focus on creating more conscious resorts and operators is critical for the future of travel and something we set out to achieve from the beginning,” explains cofounder Adam Broadbent. Designed uniquely for scuba divers, ZuBlu’s travel platform aims to solve the main questions when planning a holiday: who, what, when and where. From individuals, groups, couples and families, ZuBlu is able to support anyone in need of a one-of-a-kind, sustainable ocean experience. ZuBlu ensures that its expert travel team is on hand 24/7 to assist with any and all travel requirements and enquiries, ensuring that each holiday is entirely personalised to the individual. Adam explains, “Our focus is on the experience, ensuring our guests get in the water in the right location at the right time of year, so they experience each destination at its very best and see the marine life that they came to see.” Prioritising safety, organisation, and high customer satisfaction standards, ZuBlu aims to provide unrivalled customer service from expert travel advisors. The expertise found within the company has been built from decades of first-hand experience while travelling and diving around the world, guaranteeing that a dive holiday booked with ZuBlu is exactly how it should be – smooth sailing. Of course, due to the impact of Covid-19, the last several years have seen significant changes for the company. Such issues have been accentuated due to many of the world’s best diving destinations being located in developing countries where continuing pandemic phases create ongoing challenges. But, while Covid-19 has slowed things down, ZuBlu hasn’t stopped progressing towards new and innovative services. “As a business, we have taken this time to improve our platform and expand our offerings across the globe. We have also excitingly taken the time to launch our Ecoventures - a selection of positive impact experiences where travellers can get involved in ocean conservation through internships, joining expeditions, and more. It’s an opportunity for all to have a profound experience while making a positive impact on your holiday,” proclaimed Adam. Drifting into the new year, ZuBlu’s primary goal is to support its guests in getting back into the water. The team’s irresistible passion and expert knowledge suggests a bright future lies on the horizon - meaning our oceans, our marine life, and your holiday, will be in good hands with ZuBlu.
