Best Places to Scuba Dive in the World:

Scuba diving is an experience by itself, it is entering into a completely different reality, where the blue never ends and you would realize the number of living organisms that live under those blue white ripples that you see from the beach. The first thing to do if you are into scuba diving is to be good and really good at swimming and practice holding your breath. There are many places to actually get certified in India now, where one can practice and learn and then be certified.

Once all this is done you can head out to all those glorious exotic locations full of promise and amazement.

1. First on the list – and no points for guessing is “The Great Barrier Reef”in Australia. This is the world’s largest Coral system, which can be seen even from outer space and happens to be a world heritage site. This is the scuba divers pilgrimage center and a must visit to anyone who loves life , oceans , adventure and travel.

2. “Barrier Reef Belize “ is the next spot – in Belize a country wedged right between Mexico and Guatemala it provides one of the most scenic locations in the world. It is only second to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia in size and makes for a most amazing scuba diving experience.

3. “Grand Cayman Islands” This Caribbean delight is a quick way to the world of clear water, beautiful under water creatures and do not miss the “Stingray city”. 

4. “Straits of Gubal” in Egypt is where your pirate fantasy comes true, unlike the previous scuba diving picks this is not just a nature’s delight this is where you actually get to see sunken ships in close range.

5. “Malpelo Island Columbia”  Another World Heritage Site this is the Mount Everest for every Diver, the ultimate challenge , where sharks swim right beside you and you better have that heart of steel to see a hammerhead in close range.
