Urs Seleger is retiring: a new era for diving trips begins!

On June 11, 2025, Urs Seleger, the owner of Seleger Sports Travel, said goodbye to the active business after 35 years and is going into his well-deserved retirement. During his time as an organizer of diving and surfing trips, he looked after countless customers who became his friends over the years. As he noted, his time at the company was both wonderful and emotional. Urs Seleger is now looking forward to the future and plans to live in Spain and look out to sea from there. A decision that will certainly bring him joy.

With his withdrawal from Seleger Sports Travel, the Preisig Reisen Dive team, consisting of Franziska and Nika Preisig as well as Mirjam Bleuler, is taking over the business. Urs Seleger will support the team in the early stages to ensure a smooth transition. Seleger Sports Travel's website, email address and phone number will remain active, providing stability and familiarity for existing customers. This acquisition marks an important step for the future of the company and the transfer of knowledge to the younger generation.

A look back at the successes

Urs Seleger can look back on an impressive career. His commitment to diving trips was always characterized by a high level of professionalism. This is how a satisfied customer reports on his experiences: After booking his first diving holiday in the Maldives at the end of 2020 during the Covid period, the trip was “fantastic”. The careful selection of the island and dive center was particularly praised as it only accommodated 12 guests. During his stay, the customer received valuable assistance from Urs, who was always available in a professional and friendly manner, even when a mishap occurred.

The forward-looking organization was particularly remarkable when it became necessary to rebook the return flight together with Rega. This not only shows Urs Seleger's expertise, but also his passion for what he does. In this way, he ensured that his customers were always in the best hands and helped them not only book a diving holiday, but also make friends.

The connection with customers will remain important in the future. The takeover by Preisig Reisen Dive opens up new opportunities to continue the tradition of excellent travel arrangements. Seleger himself sees the upcoming period as an opportunity for new impulses and the development of fresh ideas in the area of ​​diving tourism.

The future of Seleger Sports Travel is already in good hands.
