There are diving destinations around the world to from when some have got big attention of the scuba diving community. Let’s look at some top diving destinations that will surely give you a wonderful diving holiday to remember. 

Bonaire: Bonaire has been voted no. 1 diving destination by many scuba fans. Most of the dive sites are located in along Bonaire’s leeward west coast and you can easily spot them by looking at the yellow-painted stones that mark dozens of sites. Once suit up you will see the water is as clean as the swimming pool. So this is one of the diving destinations where you can expect highest visibility underwater. The southern sites like Alice in Wonderland, Pink Beach and Invisibles, the beaches maintain under water in a sandy natural that steadily reaches 10 meter in depth. Bonaire’s water is rich with diverse marine life like abundant grunts, yellowtail snappers, angelfish, parrot fishes, rock beauties, squirrelfish and butterfly fish, and also beautiful corals gardens and gorgonians.

Oahu: Oahu is another diving destination in the top list located off the coastline of Hawaii. Get ready for the warm blue water and diving here is relatively easy off the island’s southern end attract many shore divers occasionally. An interesting part is the surface conditions in this diving destination are always calm, and vis goes in the 80- to 100-foot array at Hanauma Bay, on the island’s southern side. When you go to the southwest side of the bay, Witch’s Brew is another dive site that has a wonderful coral garden in front of a small cape. The name came from its wave action and currents, so you must be an experience diver to dive in this site. 

Curaçao: Mind blowing reefs close to shore and preservation-minded authority, there is no doubt to see Curaçao in the list of top diving destinations. The island of Curaçao has several beach-accessible dive sites from its southwestern coast. One of the interesting site to visit is Janthiel Baai with lots of star coral, gorgonians, sponges and wire coral. You need to be careful when choosing a dive site in Curaçao as many of the sites are only suitable for advanced divers. A must visit place is Hato Caves where you can experience a different type of diving. It’s located on the north side of the island and only five minutes from the International Airport of Curaçao
