2 Red Sea, Egypt
The Red Sea is home to one of the 7 wonders of the undersea world. Diving off the coast of Egypt into the Red Sea you will be greeted by many species of fish that are only found in the Red Sea. You never know when you could come face to face with several species of shark including the impressive Hammerhead. There are more than 1000 species of fish, hard and soft coral, and too many invertebrates to mention here.
3 Caño Island, Costa Rica
Caño Island, by many, is considered the absolute best place to go diving when in Costa Rica. It is one of the best diving destinations in Central America. The area in and around the island is protected and gathering shells and other sea creatures are prohibited. This is their way of preserving the integrity of the ecosystem and ensuring all of the sea creatures including thousands of species of fish, sharks, rays, and coral.
4 The Great Barrier Reef, Australia
The Great Barrier Reef would most likely be on the bucket list of every single diver in the world. No other underwater place on earth garners more attention than this large stretch of water on the coast of Queensland, which is located on the southeastern coast of Australia, in the Coral Sea. This amazing coral formation is 2300 km in length and is a complete ecosystem in itself.
