Best Diving Locations Around the World

Marine life and marine habitats vary from region to region. Be sure to check out the best diving location around the world to gain the fullest diving experiences. Each destination is different.

Diving in Asia

Feast your sights on the colorful tropical marine life that Asian waters have to offer. Visit waters of countries such as the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia. Be sure to check out the Micronesian islands as well because they have a sound where scuba divers can swim in a pool like environment full off jellyfish! Sounds scary but the experience is actually surreal as divers are greeted with the sight ethereal harmless jellyfish in great numbers.

The jellyfish here are harmless because they have evolved into losing their sting. This body of water is closed off from other waterways and since the jellyfish have no prey, their physiology adapted: no danger, no need for defense.

Be sure to visit also the protected marine park in Tubbataha in the Philippines. The park boasts of rich biodiversity where divers can see small fish to large nurse sharks. This is a live aboard trip and the waters are amazing even from above. Divers say that Tubbataha is even more spectacular than diving in the Great Barrier Reef.

Diving in Australia

South of Asia is Australia and here divers will find the most extensive and colorful reef systems in the world. The biodiversity is amazing and is an experience that divers should not miss out on.

While in Australia, don't fail to visit the Ningaloo Reef on the western side of the continent. Divers here will experience swimming with the sea's gentle giants; the whale sharks. Some whale sharks are as huge as buses and there is an immense feeling of awe and wonder from being so close so something so huge.

Whale sharks are the largest fish in the world and they are water filters and not carnivorous.
