Honey Coastline

Over the past 5 - 10 years diving has become increasingly popular as a leisure sport. This global trend has extended to South Africa, particularly as some of the world's best dive sites are either within our borders or on our doorstep. As with many leisure sports diving takes up a substantial amount of personal time and more and more divers are looking for customised offering that suits their schedules. This, along with the increased need for personal attention positions Honey Coastline's business as very relevant in today's market.

Honey Coastline will offer that extra touch in convenience when it comes to training to suit personal preferences in terms of times and place of training. There is a definite market requirement for this as people in the Gauteng area, in Management or Executive positions and even housewives, find it difficult to attend a regular training schedule due to family and business constraints.

Travel at Honey Coastline will offer complete organisation from planning to enjoying the holiday to having holiday memories saved for you in the form of photos or DVD. The special extra personal touch will make Honey Coastline a first choice for travel. Honey Coastline offers an exciting innovative approach designed to meet your personal needs, family's needs and even friends' and associates' needs - a unique offer indeed!
