postheadericon Top 10 Scuba Sites in the World





I've never really been keen on "High 10 Lists" - in spite of everything they are highly subjective. And relating to putting together a Prime Ten Checklist of Scuba Sites - there are such a lot of factors concerned - High 10 for what? For Marine Life? For Coral Colours? For Newbies? For Divers named Shirley? - Properly you get the point. Nonetheless in case you cruise the various "Prime Tens" that have been put collectively over the years by the assorted dive magazines and dive enthusiasts you will see certain locations that make the lists again and again, despite the parameters, and so for what it's value here is our record (in no specific order) of "The Prime 10 Dive Sites in the World."  

1. Thailand's Adaman Sea - From Barrier reefs, Corals, Wrecks and Caves the waters of the Adaman Sea off of Thailand's Coast provide every little thing a Scuba Diver is searching for and more.

2. Darwin Island in The Galapagos - Simply the most effective Dive Sites to see large Sea Creatures. Sea Turtles, Hammerhead Sharks, Sea Lions and Seals abound here. Sighting a Whale Shark isn't uncommon.

3. Bonaire - In contrast to its cousins Aruba and Curacao, Bonaire in the Antilles is thought for one thing - Scuba Diving. All the island is a protected marine habitat, and probably the most important unspoiled underwater ecosystem on the planet.

4. Cozumel, Mexico - Cozumel is surrounded by reefs and clear warm waters. There are underwater formations with many swim-by alternatives and coals teeming with marine life, and visibility on a very good day as far as 200 feet. Cave divers will discover excitement in the contemporary water caves of the Cenotes.

5. Yap, Micronesia - This little Island about a 1 hour flight from Guam is the only place on the planet that your are assured to see Manta Rays, and not only a fleeting glimpse however you possibly can get up and shut and private to these light giants as they hover in large groups to feed and clean themselves.

6. Fiji - is the Tender Coral Capital of the World and home to a number of legendary scuba dive sites akin to "The Nice White Wall" and the "Yellow Tunnel." Fiji's clear waters offer  the perfect opportunities for underwater photography and videography according to the pros.

7. Florida & The Florida Keys - Florida undoubtedly gives the most effective scuba sites on the North American Continent. The Keys are residence to the third largest Coral Reef on the planet and the only Pure Reef on the East Coast. For ease of journey particularly for U.S. divers, economic system, and shear variety of Dive sites Florida makes this list.

8. Grand Cayman - From shallow reefs to deep drop offs, Grand Cayman makes the record for its heat clear waters with visibility to 150 ft, range of marine life, and number of dive sites for divers of all ability ranges

9. Belize - like Bonaire, Belize is just not well-known amongst common vacationers but is a scuba diving sizzling spot, and no "High Ten" might be full with out including Belize

10. Heron Island, Australia - House to Australia's Nice Barrier Reef The "Holy Grail" of all scuba diving sites, The Nice Barrier Reef is the largest within the world. 1000's of species of fish, great white sharks and many other marine creatures make it their home. At the center of all of it Heron Island, a small, unpretentious locale - that subjective or not will doubtless be number one on any Scuba High Ten List you read.
