Diving ancient shipwrecks is a unique experience unlike anything else. The mysterious darkness and the colourful abundant marine life surrounding the sunken vessel attracts pros as well as novice divers. Although it might seem first intimidating or frightening, historic shipwrecks are like underwater museums and offer something for every interest. We have narrowed down the top ten wrecks in the world that every diver should have on their dive bucket list.
It is for good reason that sea lions are known as puppies of the sea. They are friendly, playful, curious, and not afraid to interact with divers they come across in their ocean home. The internet is full of exciting videos of divers getting buzzed by fast swimming sea lions or sea lions nibbling on their fins or snorkels. Diving with sea lions is always a thrilling adventure. The sea lion’s cousin, the seal, although a bit timider, is just as fun to encounter while exploring underwater. Seals can be just as friendly and are one of the cutest marine mammals you will ever see. Explore the MyDiveGuide map to see the best places to dive with sea lions and seals around the world.
Many divers find it a love and hate relationship with cave diving, but still caves and caverns have this mysterious darkness and narrow passages that attracts many divers. From sinkholes, over grottoes to caverns, whether you are an open water diver or a cave specialist - there is something for everyone. As a diver, you need to step up your game to try it out and you’ll need specialized training to enjoy the best cave dives in the world. Find your next cave-diving adventure!
Getting up close with a manta ray is every diver’s dream. These majestic, elegant yet peaceful animals glide easily through the ocean and make up for a truly magical experience that you will never forget. Manta rays can grow up to 7 meters and live at least 50 years. Although these gentle giants can be found in many places around the globe, they prefer warmer, tropical waters like the Indo-Pacific. Some favourable dive sites where you’ll have higher chances to swim with these graceful creatures, are the Socorro Island in Mexico, Kona in Hawaii and Raja Ampat in Indonesia.
Shark Awareness Day is upon us! To honor these powerful, majestic creatures, here are the world’s best dive spots for amazing shark encounters. Humans have always been fascinated by these large predators. Seeing a shark underwater can be a heart-pounding, thrilling, and unforgettable experience. Get your underwater camera ready and come explore some of the best places on the planet to encounter sharks!
Glimpsing a calm, majestic sea turtle during a dive, sparks joy in every diver. Often considered as the cutest animal among all marine life, sea turtles can be found in warm, tropical waters worldwide throughout the year. There are seven species of sea turtles: green, hawksbill, leatherback, loggerhead, Kemp’s Ridley, Olive Ridley and flatback turtle that are distinguished by shell shapes and jaw structures. To increase your chances to have a special moment with these reptiles, these are the most popular hotspots for turtle sightings: Indonesia, Hawaii, Galapagos Islands, Australia and Sipadan in Malaysia. Find your next dive adventure with this ancient ocean swimmer!
You may know that our oceans cover more than 70 percent of the earth’s surface, but did you know that humans have only explored a total of less than five percent of the oceans? In celebration of World Ocean Day, we want to explore the best dive sites within the seven seas. From the small tropical islands of the Pacific to the crystal-clear waters of the Indian, over to the wild and rough Atlantic, every ocean has its diverse underwater characteristics and brings something unique to the table. This week, let us help you discover magical dive sites you have never heard of before!
Are you ready for your first dive experience? Your newly acquired dive certification is your passport to encounter amazing underwater sites in destinations worldwide. When choosing your first dive destination, look for places known for calm conditions, shallower depths, and plenty of marine life, so you feel comfortable as a novice diver and still have plenty to see. We narrowed down the top dive sites for beginners, from the Caribbean to the Philippines and everything in between - find your next adventure today!
From the Caribbean Sea to the South Pacific Ocean, divers can find fantastic muck and macro diving worldwide. Muck diving gets its name from the “mucky“ environment, usually muddy sediment, where small yet fascinating animals are found. Macro photographers or those that just love hunting for small, beautiful species love the adventure muck diving brings. Explore the best muck dive sites in the world where you can find tiny octopi, colorful nudibranchs, brilliant shrimp, gobies, and much more! Go muck diving today!
