Silversea Expeditions has unveiled its collection of Scuba Diving Expedition Voyages for 2016 and 2017, offering diving in some of the world’s most remote destinations at top diving sites in the western Pacific and Indian oceans.

The 120-guest, all-suite Silver Discoverer, which joined the Silversea Expeditions fleet in 2014, will feature 20 voyages offering  scuba diving opportunities for experienced divers in regions such as the Maldives, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, the Palau Archipelago and the Andaman Islands.

“We’re delighted to offer our guests the opportunity to explore remote destinations both on land and underwater with this unique series of expedition voyages,” said Lisa McAuley, commercial Director, UK and Ireland. “The Scuba Diving Expedition Voyages are designed to provide the most awe-inspiring deep sea adventures, but also include incredible destinations for snorkelling and onshore hiking explorations.”
