The
Bahamas. So close, yet so far away. The Bahamas chain is within
a scant 50 miles from the coast of  Florida, but in that 50 miles you cross into
another dimension. A time and place without worries, relaxing
atmosphere, friendly people, and lest we not forget, some of the
finest diving in the the world. Whether you favor wrecks, reefs,
drift diving, walls, blue holes, caves and caverns, or diving
with sharks and dolphins, it's all right here.
And the visibility, how about an average of 100'+, and 200' not
an uncommon occurance. Dive services range from small personal
6-paks where you may be one of the few on the boat, to large personal
operations with multiple boats where you will get a chance to
meet and dive with scuba enthusiasts from all over the world.
Where will you dive? The choices are yours to make.
You can choose an island with lots of activity and a bustling
nightlife, or how about an island where few other people will
be seen, and the afternoon activities include swinging in your
hammock and watching the sun fall from the edge of the earth.

| Indonesia
is in the center of the Indo-Pacific bio-sphere, and is the largest
archipelago in the world. There are over 17,000 islands spread
across 3,000 miles, and diving conditions are exceptional. It
is one of the richest and most diverse marine habitats on the
earth. The rich diversity of marine fish also extends to an equally
rich diversity of marine corals (over 500 varieties). In addition
to reefs, you can experience fantastic wall diving, "flying"
drift dives, and many great wrecks.
What
about the marine life? How about shrimp to whalesharks, squid
to dolphins, sea horses to blue ribbon eels, scorpion fish to
turtles, manta rays to..... well you get the picture, this place
is loaded!!
While
the infrastructure in Indonesia to support diving is still young,
there are excellent dive centers, resorts and liveaboards throughout
the area.

Maldives
|
| |
|
The
Maldives are located about an hour's flight southwest of Sri Lanka
in the Indian Ocean. This country is made up of about 26 atoll
 formations,
comprising over a thousand islands and scattered like gem stones
in a north to south direction. With a population of just 238,500,
only 199 islands are inhabited and 75 have been set aside exclusively
for tourist resorts.
 Although
topside wildlife is limited, the underwater world is indescribably
beautiful. The Maldives are one of the most coral rich regions
of the world. Over three quarters of the world's reef fish can
be found in their waters. For scuba divers the Maldives are simply
heaven.
Diving in the Maldives can be accessed from land based resorts
which use day boats that take vacationers out to the reefs, pinnacles,
and channels that comprise the Maldives atolls. For the more exotic
Maldives diving, you can experience the remote atolls from a live
aboard dive vessel.
The diving for experienced divers is excellent. There are drop
offs, overhangs, cuts, pinnacles, and wrecks full of life. Aside
from the pleuthra of reef fish, divers will encounter turtles,
moray eels, sharks, mantas, and even whale sharks.
Climate: 75 - 86F (24-30C)
Water Temp: 78 - 86F (26-30C)
Visibility: 70 - 150+ Ft. (21 - 45+ m)

Red
Sea
|
| |
|
The
 coral reefs of the Red Sea stretch from southern
Sinai to the offshore area of the Deep South, which is only reached
by liveaboard. The coastline covers a distance of more than 930
miles (1500 km).
Two coastal resort towns, Hurghada on the African mainland and
Sharm El Sheikh on the Sinai Peninsula, are the main dive destinations,
but the most popular dive sites are spread all over the region.
Among the hundreds of common fish species you will encounter daily
are clownfish, butterfly fish, angel fish, parrot fish, lion fish,
and turkey fish. You will often encounter schools of barracuda,
and even sharks. Occasionally you can spot graceful manta rays
too! The variety and amount of life is truly remarkable. Now add
a vast assortment of colorful soft and hard corals and you have
a diving site that ranks as one of the best in the world.
 You
will find an abundance of fish and organisms from tiny polyps
to the huge Napoleon wrasse. But Egypt is also quite famous for
the many interesting wrecks, particularly at the entrance to the
Gulf of Aqaba and in the Strait of Tiran.
If you are interested in sharks you will have the opportunity
to encounter various species like the silky shark, gray reef sharks,
oceanic white tip and the manta ray along with many others depending
on the area you visit. Cruising dolphins and friendly sea turtles
are especially, but not exclusively, found in the northern region.
In the southern regions you will even have an opportunity to see
the endangered Dugongs (Manatees).
Climate Average 75F (23C) January 108 (42C) August
Water Temp Average 68F (20C)January 84 (29C) August
Visibility 100+ ft (30+ m) except during local plankton blooms

Scuba
diving in Thailand has always been considered world-class. If
you’ve ever dreamed of swimming with a whale shark, this
is the place to do it. Not only is the land diverse above water,
but below as well with huge boulders that create havens for
both large & small fish. Keep an eye out into the blue for
schools of tuna and other large pelagics cruising around. You
will find everything in this underwater paradise from large
pelagics to ribbon eels.
A major water sports center is the southern island of Phuket
in the Andaman Sea. The majority of diving destinations close
to Phuket are located in nearby Phangnga , where hundreds of
limestone islands rise up from the blue waters. Also popular
are the largely uninhabited Similan Islands, recently listed
among the world's ten most beautiful spots for underwater scenery
and the spectacular Phi Phi Islands near Phuket.
Climate: 70 - 93F (21 - 34C)
Water Temperature: 80 - 87F (27-31C)
Visibility: 30' - 130' (10 - 40m)

Truk/Micronesia
|
| |
|
 Chuuk, known to most divers as Truk,
because of Truk Lagoon, boasts a vast, shallow, beautiful lagoon,
and is a Mecca for wreck divers. Known to the world as the graveyard
of the Pacific, Truk Lagoon is the final resting place of more
than 70 WW II ships and hundreds of aircraft that fell to the
U.S. Forces during "Operation Hailstone". Many of these
wrecks rest upon the bottom with trucks, jeeps, planes and equipment
they were carrying still intact. During the past 50+ years these
huge artifacts of the past have become home for a profusion of
soft corals and marine life.
Less dived and spectacular itself is the outer reef with peaks,
caves and dropoffs with hard and soft corals in a kaleidoscope
of colors and shapes. Here you can experience hundreds of species
of fishes and lots of palagics.
Climate: Warm & Humid Year Round Low to Mid 70's Night Mid
to Upper 80's Day
Water Temperature: 78 - 85F
Visibility: Up to 100+ ft (30+
