If you are interested in diving, or are already a keen scuba diver, then you will be looking for information on where in the world is the best place to go diving.
Of course not everyone has the same tastes, and what is the best dive in the world for one person may be only OK for another.
What follows therefore is one persons opinion of the 5 Best Places in the World to Scuba Dive.
Number 1 - The Red Sea
A unique diving region and a favourite with many European divers. The Red Sea offers a diversity that is hard to match anywhere in the world. Beautiful hard and soft corals, fish species that are found nowhere else in the world, historic and modern wreck dives, and all year round sunshine.
Number 2 - The Maldives
Tiny island paradises, warm water, and lots and lots of fish life make the Maldives a fantastic diving destination. Soft corals, huge schools of reef fish, plentiful sharks and great opportunities to see Manta Rays and even whale sharks.
Number 3 - Chuuk
If wreck diving is your thing then you will be in paradise. A giant lagoon, almost 40 miles in diameter, located in Micronesia. Beneath its clear waters lie more than 100 ships, planes and submarines. All of them as a result of the World War II Operation Hailstone.
Number 4 - Indonesia
Specifically the area around Manado in North Sulawesi which can combine ripping drift dives over pristine reefs with muck diving for the tiniest of creatures at Lembeh. Strait. Definitely one for the photographers
Number 5 - Bahamas
There are many great diving treats available in the Caribbean but I have picked the Bahamas because of the chance to do a shark feed. Kneeling on the sandy bottom with 20 or more sharks circling and darting past is an experience that has to rate in my top 5.
