Have you ever wanted to travel and explore the unknown and try diving, but have been unable to take that giant leap because of your hearing loss? Do you find it hard to understand diving instructors in big classes? FRUSTRATED???

Not anymore. Welcome aboard to the Sampai Jumpa where your travel and diving worries will disappear.

Frank van der Linde and Naomi Hayim have taught many D/deaf and hard of hearing people. Whether you want to learn to dive, or be gently guided around the beautiful sights of the underwater world, let us take you by the hand. Together, we can teach you scuba diving with confidence and ease.

As soon as you jump on the boat, you can relax completely. We will put you in an environment that caters for your needs without you having to feel different from the group.

Following the successes of our previous trips where we had many D/deaf and hard of hearing people join us from the United States, Europe and Australia, please find dates for the next trips starting from early 2006. We look forward to welcoming you!

Dates for 2007.

3/08/07 – 3/16/07 – 10-day Manta Ray & Whaleshark Sighting Galore Trip

3/18/07 – 3/25/07 – 8-day Similan & Surin Islands Trip

3/28/07 – 4/17/07 – 3-week Andaman Trip

3/7/06 – 3/28/06 – Andaman Islands — A very special 3-week trip to the unique Andaman Islands. This special trip is open to everyone and is highly recommended as it is one of the last places to see the almost extinct Dugongs (Sea Cows).

The aim of delegating the above trips is for D/deaf/hard of hearing divers to meet one another.

If you wish to come at other times not specified above, you are most welcome to book any trips you wish. Naomi will be on board at all times from October 2005. We use a wide range of communication methods, to ensure that everyone can understand and participate, these being BSL, ASL, lip speaking, gestures and fingerspelling. We aim to accommodate everyone, whatever their communication needs are.

All our trips will be a mix of D/deaf, hard of hearing and hearing people. If you have any specific requests, contact Naomidana via her email address: naomi@worldwidediveandsail.com and she will provide you with any information you require.

“... the fact that communication was not an issue, was the ultimate for me, especially when I compare it to diving in this country and other places, where I have missed out on the dive briefings etc. I also learnt a lot about my diving and hope I have improved. Also, it was so much fun and there were some wonderful people on the trip.”
Shirley Wilson, London, UK
“I loved the diving so much that I have been thinking about whether I want to do graphic design as my career or to go into scuba diving!! Even my parents have noticed the change in me from when I first went travelling to now!! I'm more positive and more like the person I used to be 3 years ago, so you know for sure that I must have had a cracking time!!”
Deniece Wheatley, Bristol, UK

 We look forward to welcoming you on the Sampai Jumpa for diving, sailing and travel fun!
