Love diving? What would be your five favorite spots, the ones that you would recommend to any diver to try at least once in their lifetime? What are the five you want to do next ... never ending story isnt ?! [:)]
Here are my 5 favorite spots (and guess the list will change as there is a lot more diving trips coming up !)
1. Palau, micronesia (although it is a real nightmare to get there)
2. Similan Islands, Thailand
3. Maldives
4. Taihiti, French Polynesia
5. Corsica, France
Loved all of those, especially Palau and looking for more so on the to do list ...
Coco Islands, Costa Rica
Papua New Guinea
Indonesia
Red Sea, although I am not a big fan of the too much touristic places, any advices?
Tanzania
and so much more but eh... that will keep me busy for a little while !
What's on your list? ok..getting curious here but you live only once so better be good! 😊 😊
Reply to this From those I've dived 😊
Joint number 1!
1. Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
1. Sipadan, Borneo, Malaysia
3. Lembeh Straits, Sulawesi, Indonesia
4. Blue Hole, Belize (dive no 10! blew my mind)
5. Bunaken National Park, Sulawesi, Indonesia
The list of places I want to dive is much much longer 😊 - my next dive destination is just off the coast here in Brazil - Ilha Grande
Palau is high on that list, Pulawe (sp?) Aceh, Indonesia, the Similan Islands (I'm always in the wrong place when it's the right season!), Andaman Islands, back to Galapagos and to the Islands of Darwin and Wolf.
Then there is the Tongian Islands off Sulawsi, Flores, Papua New Guinea.... I think I could spend the rest of my life diving quite happily. 😊
Reply to this My favorites are:
1. Alexandria, Egypt (I love ruins and that is one of the only places you can dive on submerged ones)
2. Blue Hole, Belize (Big Sharks and great scenery)
3. Channel Islands, California (lots of life and thick kelp)
4. 'The Caves' in Dahab, Egypt (great underwater scenery and lots of big life)
5. St. Lucia (excellent coral gardens and underwater scenery)
My list of where I would like to dive is boundless, but under the ice in Antarctica and the Galapagos Islands are at the top.
Diving is great!

Reply to this Alright now...guess my wish list is getting way longer !! hahaha 😊 Did anyone dive in Coco Islands Costa Rica? really would love to hear some feedback on that one! Cheers!
Reply to this I have not dived in many countries (yet), but in the Red Sea I liked:
St. Johns reef in South Egypt, the further south the better.
Djibouti in the Red Sea was also very nice; I went to the Seven Brother islands with many manta rays, big shoals of fish, whale sharks are born there. Djibouti is not a tourist place at all; it is very hot, with volcanic landscapes, salt lakes, tribal people are still there, french foreign legion and american troops controlling Yemen and Somalia. But my scuba buddies thought that Egypt gave better value for money, better food onboard, better boat. But I prefer adventure.
Thailand: I preferred the Phi phi area above the Similan area (except Richelieu rock which is awesome)
I have seen a video a dutchman made in cocos island and it is absolutely fabulous.
Cheers!
Reply to this 1. Komodo National Park, Indonesia - saw 20 Manta on one dive. Also some of the most colourful coral I Have ever seen. If you go dive with Reefseekers
Reply to this there are some GORG dives from the Gili Islands off lombok in Indonesia.....strong currents though and a great branchoff to Komodo. REALLY cheap too seo recommended.
