1. Red Sea, Egypt: It is no lesser than an underwater paradise in North Africa.

In addition to it, the diving conditions here are favorable for divers. Its warm water rarely falls below 22 degrees Celcius even in core winters and typically reaches 30 degrees in dense summers, that makes it pretty favorable for divers. Its crystal clear water provides the perfect condition for underwater photography. You’ll be able to encounter numerous marine creatures like pelagic, reef sharks, turtles, mantas, rare dugongs, spinner dolphins etc. the best dive sites include Thistlegorm wrecks, Abu Nuhas Reef, Dahab Blue Hole, Elphinstone Reef and many more.

3. The Blue Hole, Belize: It is an utterly surreal experience to witness live and diving in the Blue Hole is more thrilling than it used to be in images and videos. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will inevitably leave you spell-bounded. Though it hardly has any wildlife (nothing except a few sharks), but diving here is amazing.
