The world has hundreds of major dive destinations and sites. These are the top 10. The selections below are either individual sites or areas with a collection of outstanding sites.
Great
Barrier Reef - Australia
It is the world's grandest reef complex and hosts 1,500 different fish species.
Note: The sooner you dive here, the better, because of the negative impacts of
tourism, overfishing, pollutants, and possibly Global Warming.

Palau Islands - Palau Republic
This beautiful, off-the-beaten-path South Pacific archipelago has a variety of
excellent diving sites. Jacques Cousteau helped make Palau's underwater paradise
world famous.
Blue Corner Wall.
Ras Mohammed National Park
- Egypt
It has approximately 200 coral and 1,000 fish species, all of which are
well-protected by government policy.
Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef.

Barrier
Reef Reserve - Belize
This destination is the world's second longest reef and has good marine life diversity. It mostly
flanks Belize.
Blue Hole.

Truk
Lagoon - Micronesia
Wreck divers love it. Dozens of attacked Second World War
Japanese ships (some quite large) and aircraft lie quietly on the lagoon's
shallow bed, waiting to be explored.
