Worldwide Scuba Diving Sites:
Please send us information on diving areas that you know of in order to complete this listing....thank you!

Aruba:
Visibilty varies due to currents and plankton, but usually ranging from 60 to 120 feet at leeward dive sites around all three islands. There is little freshwater runoff. You will love wreck diving off some of the finest and longest beaches in the caribbean. The marine life :Little freshwater runoff, proximity to the equator and a small reef plateau keep life dense, and uncommon species flourish: frogfish, seahorses, nudibranchs, black crinoids, basket stars, scorpionfish, eels. Sharks not common. Barracuda, tarpon and jacks are. Protection has stabilized grouper population. Corals: The payoff for high plankton content (and less than crystal vis) is a reef slope ablaze with life. The density of coral cover, especially hard corals, is unique. Wrecks: Shallow wrecks in Aruba are excellent for novices and photographers.

Australia:
Incredible diversity of corals and marine life. No need to mention one of the wonders of the world: The Great Barrier Reef where you will be astonished by its beauties and secrets. And what can you say about the world's largest reef system, its largest living thing--in fact, the only living thing visible from space? Plenty, and that's the problem... you have to go see for yourself!
Bahamas:
Long Island is popular for wall and wreck diving. Along with Grand Bahama Island, New Providence, The Out Islands possibilities you will be able to satisfy your needs fully.

Barbados:
Diving is concentrated on the leeward west and south coasts, where hard corals grow thick along the crest of the reef, and orange elephant ear, convoluted barrel sponge and rope sponge cascade down the drop-off of the outer reef. A full range of Caribbean tropicals populate Bajan waters, along with an unusually high concentration of hawksbill turtles. The island's best-known and most spectacular dive site is the wreck of the 365-foot Greek freighter Stavronikita, home to barracuda, moray eels and a vibrant coat of bright yellow tube sponge, delicate pink rope sponge and crimson encrusting sponge.

Belize:
Belize's barrier reef has been named one of the Seven Underwater Wonders of the World. From the high-profile formations and nurse shark and stingray encounters off Ambergris Caye, to remote, virgin sites off the atolls, to the whale sharks that frequent the waters off southern Belize to the Mayan ruins still being unearthed in the West, Belize is one of the best-kept secrets in diving.

Bermuda:
The greatest collection of diveable shipwrecks in this hemisphere (more or less 350 wrecks). Has some of the Atlantics best visibility and great choice of access to diversify your trip.

Costa Rica:
A whole bunch of Mantas, turtles, whale sharks and and and....There's no better place for big animal encounters than Costa Rica, where diving adventure comes in three sizes: big, bigger and wow...

Cozumel:
Amazing! All you need to know: The Guiana Current has been blasting around Cozumel for eons, shaping the coastline and forming intricate patterns of limestone and reef. Lush coral ridges line the shore, with drop-offs punctuated by lobster-infested pinnacles, colorful sponge and star coral.

Dominican Republic:
Dominican Republic is a safe, friendly and beautiful island, both topside and under water. Plus, it's one of the best bargains in the Caribbean. Europeans have known this for decades...go check it out...its worth the detour!

Fiji Islands:
The marine ecosystem is vast and infinitely varied, offering a rich palette of fringing reef formations, atolls, large lagoons or the simple beauty of seagrass beds and mangrove colonies that host juvenile tropicals and new-growth coral. The underwater topography is also varied-from towering bommies that reach from 100-foot depths to within inches of the surface to classic wall drop-offs.

French Polynesia:
118 islands and atolls in the vast area known as French Polynesia, and 11 that have diving centers: Bora Bora, Raiatea, Huahine, Moorea, Tahiti, Tikehau, Nuku Hiva, Tubuai, Rurutu, Rangiroa and Manihi. Many people including my brother would say that it is one of the wonders of the world... You can find everything from shark coves, to ocean drop-offs...

Hawaii:
Great diving sites but usually too popular and over visited. Find out with your dive operators about some local spots where you will find and see what you expect from the Hawaiian islands...

Honduras:
Bay Islands of Honduras: Roatan, Utila, Guanaja and Cayos Cochinos...you have the choice.

Maldives:
The Maldives are unexploited-1,000 of the country's 1,200 islands are uninhabited and scores of them are off- limits to foreign tourists. Much of the diving is unexplored, though Europeans have been going down on Maldivian reefs for decades. And it's exciting-divers drift with big pelagics in warm, crystalline water. Atolls are the basic building block of Maldivian geography. Indeed, the word atoll is a gift from the islands' Dhivehi language. The nation's atolls span more than 450 miles in a nearly perfect north-south configuration, and range from the minuscule to the mammoth-Kashidhoo and Toddu are a little over a mile in diameter each, with some of their islands smaller than a city block. In contrast, Huvadhoo, just above the equator, measures 45 by 40 miles and is the third largest atoll in the world.

Micronesia:
Yap, Palau ...big animal encounters;.. Palau, Saipan, Rota, Guam, Pohnpei, Kosrae : pretty reefs; ...wall diving, go to Palau, Yap ;...wreck diving, go to Truk, Palau, Marshall Islands ...shore diving, go to Kosrae, Saipan ...drift diving, go to Palau, Pohnpei ....and much more...

Papua New Guinea:
Walls, wrecks, flora, at its rawest state. Not quite developed yet you will be able to find yourself in the past again. Beautiful and untouched, Papua New Guinea is a must for the travelling diver.

Red Sea:
Today, the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean exchange very little water. In relative isolation, and surrounded by desert, the Red Sea has developed its own endemic twists on Indo-Pacific marine life. It contains the northernmost fully developed reef system on the planet and boasts a diversity of more than 1,000 fish and 200 coral species. You can dive everything from shallow coral gardens to deep vertical walls, to large intact shipwrecks.

Seychelles/ Indian Ocean:
Explore the area's lush reefs and abundant marine life from dive bases in open-ocean outposts like the Seychelles and the Maldives. A thousand miles off the shores of Kenya, the Seychelle Islands remain an isolated Eden teeming with unique sea life. Since there are 92 islands in the Seychelles group, you are bound to find a number of underexplored dive sites--the farther from Mahe, the greater the likelihood. Highly recommended are Shark Bank and Brissare, and the island of Poivre in the Amirantes is renowned for its diving and superb visibility.

Solomon Islands:
Korumolun Island, Mirror Pond at Mane Island, Leru Cut, Mary Island, Wreck of the Ann are some of the best spots there. The Solomon Islands have wonderfull WWII wrecks and other magnificient reefs and more. The waters of the Solomon Islands are nutrient-rich, hosting a diverse ecosystem, from macro life to pelagic predators.

Thailand:
Crystal waters, abundant coral life and wild granite are only few of the wonders of Thailands scuba diving that you will find.

Tobago:
Tobago is known for drift diving on fast and furious offshoots of the Guyana Current. As this blast of nutrient-rich water heads north from South America, it bounces off neighboring Trinidad, then splits into a Y to gust past the northeast and southwest corners of Tobago at an average speed of four knots. In the process, it nourishes extraordinarily healthy reef growth, including massive hard coral colonies and barrel sponges. The abundance of plankton in the water cuts visibility to an average of 50 to 80 feet, but it also attracts plankton-feeding creatures like big manta rays and even the occasional whale shark.

Turks and Caicos:
From developed Providenciales to dive-crazed Grand Turk, sleepy Salt Cay to tranquil South Caicos, historical shipwrecks to awe-inspiring walls, all-inclusive mega-resorts to small, intimate inns, the Turks & Caicos offer something for every diver.
